But keep in mind that the world’s climates are very different and vary not only in latitude but also in altitude, proximity to the ocean, and the presence of hot or cold currents.
So don’t take this schedule as law. My goal is that it inspire you to learn to observe the nature and climate of your area, so that you can adapt the calendar to your needs.
You may also have to look at the calendar for the months before and after to give you more ideas and obviously you can socialize a bit with other people who live in the same area as you and share experiences.
