What to grow in Kochi in summer?
Kochi pre-monsoon summer (March–May, 30–36°C, very humid) suits moringa, cowpea, amaranth, and bitter gourd. These handle heat-humidity combinations. Water morning only — wet foliage overnight causes fungal disease in Kochi's humidity. Start monsoon crops (ginger, turmeric) in May for the June–September season.
