summer crops
Heat-loving farm produce
Summer crops are plants cultivated during the warm growing season, typically planted in spring and harvested in late summer or fall.
The term distinguishes these from winter crops, which grow during colder months.
Common summer crops include corn, tomatoes, squash, and beans.
In agricultural contexts, the phrase often appears in discussions of crop rotation and seasonal planting schedules: The summer crops are coming in nicely this year.
