Tips for Winter Vegetable Gardening in Pakistan
-
Soil Preparation:
- Ensure well-draining soil rich in organic matter.
- Add compost or well-rotted manure for better yields.
-
Sunlight:
- Plant in areas that receive full sun for most of the day, especially in northern areas where winters are colder.
-
Watering:
- Water sparingly, as the cool weather retains soil moisture longer. Avoid overwatering.
-
Frost Protection:
- In regions with frost, cover plants with a light cloth or plastic sheeting during freezing nights.

Succession Planting:
- Plant seeds at intervals of 2-3 weeks for a continuous harvest.
