Summer fruit

As summer fruit (also Sommerung) are referred to crops that are sown in the field in spring or planted and harvested in the autumn of the same year. Because of the widespread spring drought, the stands often have to be irrigated . They can also be considered if the higher-yielding winter fruit stocks have perished due to wintering .

Examples of summer fruits are:

• Summer cereals such as spring wheat , spring barley , spring rye, and maize.
• Root crops such as potatoes , sugar beets , fodder beets , summer rape and tobacco
• Summer vegetables such as eggplant , bottle gourd , garden pumpkin , cucumber and water spinach
• Medicinal plants , such as real St. John's wort
