Notes

Old seeds, soaked overnight as advised, and the seeds that responded to soaking were planted around the female pistachio tree. No sign of emergence though, so perhaps the seeds really were too old. Edit: I saw them start to emerge around the 1st of July and now they're big and healthy enough for positive identification. So they just needed lengthening days, or a better soil moisture profile.

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.
