Notes

I got the seedlings from Formosa. I would usually grow these from seed, but if the seeds fail or I don't have time, I buy seedlings from the nursery. The spot I planted them is in semi shade, but will be in full sun very soon as we move further towards summer and the sun moves higher in the sky. Sq 2.

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.
