seasonal planting
Weather-based crop scheduling
Seasonal planting is the practice of sowing seeds or setting out plants at times suited to their growth cycles and local climate conditions.
Gardeners follow seasonal planting schedules to maximize yields: The almanac recommends seasonal planting of tomatoes after the last frost.
The term also applies to rotating decorative plants with the seasons—pansies in spring, mums in fall.
