Planting Summer Veggies

In the last month I've planted the following:
- Okra. Direct from seed and also in seedling pots. Both are fine
- Malabar spinach. Direct, but no luck so far
- Kang Kong, both direct and in seedling pots. Both are fine.
- Cucumber (in the ground and doing well, from seedlings planted into the ground about a month ago)
- Zucchini - already huge and producing fruit. The key, I think, is to get these in as early as possible so you get a decent crop before the humidity sets in. These were probably started from seed at the end of August or early September and put into the ground late September.
- capsicum. Tricky to germinate, and needs warm temps. One is a decent size and in the ground, the rest are still tiny.
- Egglplant (from bought seedlings)
- Yacon (from tubers saved from the previous year)
- Bitter melon (from seed to seedling to bed)
- Rock melon (from bought seedlings)
- Moringa (from seed to seedling to raised mound)
- Pigeon pea (from seed to seedling to bed/ground)
- Shiso - broadcast the seed. Seems Vietnamese shiso doing the best so far.
