connda Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I came to Thailand from a temperate region of American that had four distinct seasons. I grew vegetables in my home garden and would like to do that here also. But now that I'm in a topical climate with three seasons, I'm lost. Are there any books or resources (in English) that cover the growing seasons for various types of vegetables in Northern Thailand. I'm interested in things like tomatoes, potatoes, celery , peas and beans, onions, garlic, greens, ginger, gangala, chilies and peppers (both hot and sweet), and herbs such as cilantro, basil, and mints. Any suggestions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pond Life Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Most Veg seems to do best about now. Plant right at the end of rainy season, cool dry weather now for about 4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somnambulist Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 http://www.scribd.com/doc/35237805/Gardening-Cambodia You might find this useful. I think the seasons in Cambodia and N. Thailand are within a month or two of each other. I checked once. There's a table at the end saying when to plant things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Wait for rain season and plant like mad, now you need a lot of water so if you have a pond or bore hole use these to plant what you like. We have Guava from a petrol pump out of the pond, but in rain season we plant corn like mad. You can grow veg now but you need water. Good luck.

Somnambulist Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) www.avrdc.org/pdf/dynamics/Thailand.pdf Hey, look what I found. This PDF has a chart listing the growing and harvesting seasons for many commmon veggies. But what the heck is the difference between a) all seasons winter, rainy c) winter, summer, rainy Edit - For some reason the forum software won't let me write b instead of that smiley with sun glasses.
