Summer crops are plants that thrive in warm weather and are typically grown during the summer months. These crops require plenty of sunlight and warm soil to grow effectively. Common summer crops include corn, tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. They are usually planted after the last frost and harvested before the first frost of fall. Farmers often choose summer crops for their quick growth and high yield. These crops can be grown in various soil types, but they generally prefer well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Proper irrigation and pest management are essential to ensure a successful harvest of summer crops.
