This season's rainLeaning dry — January, February, November and December look short of rain. Plant at the early end of the window, favour quicker and more drought-tolerant crops, and keep moisture in the soil: mulch, and weed early.

Mokhotlong's districts

What grows here

Rain-fed. These dates are worked out from each place's own rainfall, for a field watered by the season — with irrigation a window can open earlier, close later, or come round more than once a year. Check your own field under What grows, or get the Divisi app for a calendar dated to your farm.

Plan the season, not just check it

The crops above are gathered from every district in Mokhotlong, and the ground under them is not all the same. Your own soil, slope and rainfall will shift the dates — the Divisi app works them out for your field, and dates each job that follows.

This calendar moves

Planting windows shift with the forecast. Leave your email and we'll send what changed, and a note when planting time nears — a couple of emails a month at most.

Frequently asked questions

What crops grow well in Mokhotlong?

Cabbage, Lettuce, Kale, Carrot, Pumpkin all rate well in Mokhotlong — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant Cabbage in Mokhotlong?

In Mokhotlong the window for Cabbage runs 30 Oct 2026 to 23 Nov 2026.

Is there a farming app that works in Mokhotlong?

Divisi does. It reads Mokhotlong's own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average, so the planting dates and crop shortlist on this page are the same ones the app works out for a field here — then dates each job for that field, and keeps working with no signal.

Is this exact for my own field?

No — these are readings taken across Mokhotlong, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
