About the growing advice
Everything here is based on the author's own experience and on published sources, in a garden in central Japan (roughly USDA zone 8b–9a).
It cannot be guaranteed to apply to every climate, region or variety. Where timing matters, articles are written as "weeks before your first frost" so you can fit them to your own conditions — but your local frost dates and the instructions on your seed packet should take priority over anything written here.
The site owner cannot accept liability for losses arising from use of this information.
If you find a mistake, please get in touch. It will be checked and corrected.
