Growing season
In
agriculture, the
growing season is the period of each year when
crops can be grown. It is usually determined by climate and crop selection. Depending on the location,
temperature,
daylight hours, and
rainfall, may all be critical factors.
In the US and Canada, the growing season usually means the days between last and first frost, or last and first 32°F (freezing) lows. This is roughly May to October.
