Planting seasons refer to specific times of the year when it is ideal to sow seeds and grow crops. These seasons vary based on climate, geography, and the type of plants being cultivated. In general, spring is a popular planting season for many vegetables and flowers, while fall is often used for planting certain perennials and winter crops. Farmers and gardeners consider factors like frost dates and soil temperature to determine the best planting times. For example, cool-season crops like lettuce thrive in cooler temperatures, while warm-season crops such as tomatoes require warmer soil to grow successfully.
