What your kitchen patch gives

Your bed is sown for each season and picked every week, all year. Three honest numbers for a mature patch in a year. After each season we publish the actual harvest next to them.

PLANNING · AT MATURITY36–60 kg a yearAbout 3–5 kg a month from your bed, picked every week: methi, palak, dhaniya, mooli and carrots in winter; bhindi, gourds and beans in the monsoon; amaranth, cowpea and other heat-tolerant greens under shade net in May–June, when harvests are lighter.

Why it grows at Jaipur

Jaipur's long, sunny winter is ideal for leafy greens, the monsoon suits okra and gourds, and in May–June the bed goes under shade net with heat-tolerant greens. Drip keeps it going through the dry months.

May–June heat: lighter harvests, even under shade net
Aphids and caterpillars on winter greens
And always: weather, pests, market prices and plants lost while they establish.
