Notes

Planted from a Portuguese packet of seeds. They always seem to do well this time of year; I sow at two-week intervals from August - October.

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.
