Kanpur: The demand for vegetables changes as per the season. If anyone wants to earn a pocketful of money, then always grow vegetables that match the season. Currently, the winter season has started knocking on the door, and farmers should be ready to grow vegetables in their fields. The coming months of October and November are perfect to plant broccoli, peas, cauliflower, and spinach.
