Some like it really hot

摘要

Sell customers the right crop for the right season; cool crops in April and warm crops in June and July. Some like it hot! Last month, I shared with you some of the cool crops and production of pansy as the mother of all cool crops. In this month's article, I want to discuss some of the crops that do better when the days are longer and the temperature is much warmer. The main purpose for last month's article on cool crops and this month's hot crops is to stress the point of working with Mother Nature, with respect to crop culture, and not against her. This is very important for two main reasons. The number one reason is economical. Every time we try to provide culture conditions artificially, we are spending extra energy on such factors fuel, hydro, structural issues and labour. This is true whether we are trying to grow a cool-loving crop in warm weather or a hot-loving crop in cool weather.
