Tomato

Tomatoes thrive in monsoon moisture and need good sunlight and drainage. Use grow bags or pots with loamy soil. Support with stakes as they grow, and watch out for fungal infections due to rain.

Beans flourish in humid, rainy weather. Provide a vertical structure for climbing varieties. Use well-drained soil and regular watering. Harvest pods young for tenderness and maximum yield.

Okra (Lady Finger)

Okra grows quickly in warm, wet weather. Use deep containers and well-draining soil. Sow seeds directly and keep the area weed-free. Harvest tender pods regularly to promote growth.

Chilli

Chilli plants enjoy the humidity and can grow well in containers. Ensure good drainage and sunlight. Water moderately and prune regularly to encourage more branching and fruiting.

Bottle Gourd

Bottle gourd thrives in heavy rainfall. It needs large containers and support for climbing. Train the vines on trellises and pick fruits early to maintain plant health and taste.
