We are beginning to feel a lot of passion for farming. Friends, acquaintances, and even strangers all came to us asking for advice on how to grow food. Everyone has the space and time to grow food. Now we see that food is the essence of our lives and that the supermarket has become a deserted place. Slowly, our relationship with food is changing. We are now sourcing and putting food on the table ourselves. People want to peppers vegetables, but they don’t have much to do except lock themselves in their homes for the summer, work long hours, and be bored.
It is a good idea to do multiple crops in one or more beds and then practice crop rotation. Multi-cropping allows you to have different plants with different needs and benefits. These tropical vegetables are easy to grow and include a mix of root, leaf, and legume (fruit) crops.
Beans and Peas
You can place a trellis wherever the beans can climb. They should get at least ten hours of sunlight per day, and they should be watered twice a week. Patani and sitaw are two examples.
Bulbs, Roots, and Stems
Turmeric is a simple crop to grow. You can place the bulb in a small container or pot until the shoots begin to grow. Once you have the bulb, place it in tropical fruits. Eggplants, which are annual, require full sun for approximately 10 hours per day. They also need to be pruned. Okra, another annual crop, is tolerant to low elevations.
Leafy Greens
Leafy greens such as talenum, camote tops, kangkong, and watercress are the easiest to grow. Arugula can also be grown easily. You can grow them in pots or in small gardens. You will need to ensure that the soil is rich in organic matter, and compost, and receive full sun. Leafy greens are the best tropical vegetables.
Lettuce
Healthy soil will allow lettuce to grow. Your soil should be rich in organic matter. They must be watered at least twice per week. They can be placed in full sunlight, but some shade in the afternoon would be a good idea. It is best to select loose leaf varieties of oak leaf lettuce. These are more tolerant to the hot climate. This is a great resource for growing lettuces in tropical climates (permaculture).
