Monsoon Gardening: Best Vegetables to Sow in August
Here, summer is completely gone and monsoon is at its peak, and this month of August is the best time for sowing vegetable seeds.
Importance of Timing in Sowing Seeds
As I have discussed in one of my videos titled “15 Major Gardening Mistakes,” one of them is sowing the wrong seeds at the wrong time. Some vegetables and fruits grow only in certain temperatures, humidity, and soil pH levels, so it is critical to know which season is compatible with growing our plants.
Seasons in India
In India, we have three main seasons:
- Summer or Pre-monsoon season – Occurring from April to June
- Monsoon or Rainy season – Lasting from July to September
- Winter season – Lasting from December to February
In July, the rains start, temperature levels fall, and the soil cools down. So, August is the ideal time to sow some vegetable seeds.

Gourds and Squashes
All types of gourds and squashes: like bitter gourd, ridge gourd, bottle gourd, pumpkins, and many others including cucumber. You can see, I have sown these gourds. There’s nothing special about the sowing technique. Just remember a simple tip on the depth of sowing: you need to sow double the thickness of the seed. You can check out my video on 25 seed hacks from my video collection.
You can watch the video below to see the results. I will update you on how these thrive further, possibly on Facebook or Instagram.
Root Vegetables
Radish, carrots, beets, and onions can be sown now or after a month. Choose deeper containers for these underground veggies or root crops and maintain sufficient spacing when you sow these. You can see the results of some of these.
Beans and Peas
This is the best season for sowing beans and peas. Just sow them normally and see the result in a few days.
Green Leafy Vegetables
You can get good results with spinach, lettuce, coriander, and others. You can see the results of this package on your screen.
