Long Do you fall into the same rut every summer with your vegetable garden? We can grow many of our favourite vegetables through most of the year but when the summer heat strikes, most of our plants just seem to wilt away. Lettuces bolt to seed and the tomatoes are wilting when the summer sun beats down upon the garden day after day. No matter how much you water the garden, the results are always less than satisfactory. When the rains do come and quenches the thirsty soil, then the trouble really starts. The brewing heat easily contributes to powdery mildew, fungal problems, slugs and other pests and the result is often weakened plants that finally succumb to a premature death.

No wonder so many people give up their gardens in our hot summers; but it need not be so. Summer in this part of the world is the perfect time for growing tropical vegetables. In our wonderful sub- tropical climate, we can grow vegetables that are easy to care for. These vegetables need very little irrigation and some keep on producing year after year.
