- It contrasts Portugal’s October rain with July’s dry spell, then notes that central Mexico’s rainy season typically runs from June to mid-October.
Field notes
The guide treats rainfall timing as the central planning variable: Mediterranean gardens grow through the cool, wet months, while summer-rain regions such as much of Mexico follow a different calendar. It uses examples including Portugal’s sharply contrasting October and July rainfall, and cautions that frost varies between coasts, inland valleys, and higher ground. Planting dates are described as starting points rather than fixed rules.
