Notes

Chayotes, if left to lie about, will start to germinate. I planted two such babies and waited. They grow quickly, and this spring they just exploded with fruit. They've kept me busy directing the climbing stems and tying wires for them.

Frost is rare here

Frost is rare in this area, so we show no frost dates.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
