Nothing goes with a tasty meal like a salad. In our country cucumber, radish and green chilli are important salad ingredients, and all three can be grown in the rainy season, when they give higher yields.

Cucumbers grown in the rainy season give a good yield. Cucumbers need plenty of water as well as sunlight, so growing them in the rains brings more profit. It is an easy crop to grow, and cucumber is very important on the everyday dinner table.

People in our country like radish in salad more than anything, and it is also used in many kinds of curry. Radish is ready for harvest about three weeks after planting. It needs a lot of water, so farmers can make a good profit growing radish in the rainy season.

Green chilli is widely used in vegetables and salads. Farmers can grow it in any kind of soil. To produce good chillies, it should be grown in the rainy season. Chillies can also be grown in the kitchen or on a terrace garden during the rains.
