The Farm Year
Winter, Summer and Monsoon on a Farm Plot
The NCR year has three seasons that matter on the land. Each changes what you grow, how you spend the day and what needs doing.
WinterOct - Feb
SummerMar - Jun
MonsoonJul - Sep
Meals Outdoors
The best season: sarson ka saag, makki ki roti and long afternoons in the sun.
Cook early, eat in deep shade or move indoors after noon.
A covered kitchen is essential; keep fuel dry and drains clear.
A Kitchen Garden
The main season. Sow Sep - Nov: leafy greens, roots, peas, cauliflower, cabbage, mustard.
Sow Feb - Mar: okra, gourds, cucumber, brinjal. Water daily and mulch.
Sow with the first rains; watch drainage, weeds and pests.
Lawns & Verandas
Lawn at its best; mornings on the veranda in the sun.
Water daily, mow high, and expect some browning.
Fast growth: mow often, clear drains, manage mosquitoes.
Evenings
Fire season, within air-quality rules. Foggy nights are common in Dec - Jan.
Late, warm evenings outdoors; the clearest skies come in spring.
Dramatic skies between showers; insects come out in force.
Orchards & Trees
Guava and citrus season; prune and feed fruit trees.
Mango season in June; young trees need regular water.
Planting season; watch for waterlogging around roots.
Pools & Water
Pool rarely used; a good time for repairs and re-tiling.
Peak use and peak water demand; check the borewell copes.
Recharge pits fill; keep pool water treated against algae.
