Seasonal planting refers to the practice of growing specific plants during their optimal times of the year. Different plants thrive in different seasons, such as spring, summer, fall, and winter. By aligning planting schedules with seasonal conditions, gardeners can maximize growth and yield. For example, cool-season crops like lettuce and peas are best planted in early spring or fall, while warm-season crops like tomatoes and peppers flourish in late spring and summer. Understanding the local climate and soil conditions is essential for successful seasonal planting, ensuring that plants receive the right amount of sunlight, water, and nutrients.
