sowing season

Time for planting

Sowing season is the time of year when farmers plant seeds in prepared soil.

The timing varies by crop and climate—spring sowing follows the last frost, while winter wheat goes in during fall.

We're behind on fieldwork this sowing season.

The phrase sometimes appears figuratively for any period of beginning or investment: Youth is the sowing season of life.
