A useful place to start
Planting windows, frost protection and heat responses serve different stages of the garden.
01 / Use the growing window

02 / Prepare for cold
Choose protection around the plant and forecast rather than a calendar alone.
03 / Respond to heat
Check roots, water access and exposure before changing the routine.
