The rainy season isn’t a pause button for gardening—it’s prime planting time! In the Philippines, June to September brings cooler temps and consistent moisture, ideal for leafy greens, okra, pechay, kangkong, and native flowering plants like gumamela. Just ensure your garden has good drainage to prevent root rot. Raised beds or containers with perlite-mixed soil work wonders. At Backyard Botanics, we’ve stocked rain-ready seeds and biodegradable pots that thrive in humid conditions. Bonus: fewer pests and less need for watering! Embrace the rain and let your garden flourish with the rhythm of the season.
