As the spring season has brought bloom in gardens and farms, it is time to think about the new harvest. It is the perfect time to sow the seeds for vegetables and fruits that are likely to blossom between February and April, months in which spring spreads all its vibrant colours across India.

Whether you have a balcony in your flat or a small garden in your house, you can grow a few plants and enjoy fresh produce during the onset of the summer season. Here are 10 vegetables and fruits that are perfect to grow in this season.

If you want to grow a mango tree in your home garden, you should plant it in this weather. It requires a lot of sunlight and water to flourish. Spring is considered the best time to sow its seeds and witness it grow and become a tree, in the next couple of years, that would give you juicy and sweet mangoes, also called the king of fruits. 

Radish

Although consumed mostly in the winter season, radishes can still grow in the spring season. Their growth rate is faster than many fruits and vegetables, and most importantly, they require less care. You can simply plant the heads of radishes in the soil, provide them with optimum water, and witness the plants grow into delicious root vegetables.

Strawberry

Strawberries are considered perennial fruits, which means it takes them a couple of years to mature and produce fruits. Therefore, the spring season is the ideal time to sow their seeds. They must be grown in well-drained soil and in a place where there is plenty of sunlight.
