growing season
Crop development timeframe
The growing season is the period of the year when weather conditions allow plants to grow, typically measured from the last frost of spring to the first frost of fall.
Length varies dramatically by climate—a few weeks in arctic regions, year-round in the tropics.
The short growing season limits what farmers can cultivate here.
