About this guide:
This is a general guide only. Planting times canvary within climatic zones and are affected by
specific local conditions. If you experience
variations to what is recommended, make a note
for following years in the space provided. In
general, seeds should be sown at the beginning to
the middle of the planting season so they have
time to establish. The end of the season is usually
more suitable for planting seedlings.
WARM SEASON
GROWING
Plant yourself a veritable feast of corn,squash, tomatoes and greens with
follow-up sowings to spread your
harvest throughout the warm season.
Things heat up early in tropical, subtropical
and arid zones, so dont delay when
planting your warm season favourites. Beprepared to shade sensitive crops on hot
days and, from mid-season onwards, focus
on planting heat-lovers such as corn, okra,
sweet potato and snake bean. You can still
grow cabbage and broccoli in warm andcool temperate areas, and its a great time
for potato, tomato, basil and parsnip. With
a little shade, you will extend your
coriander harvest into summer.
