The growing season is the part of the year during which local weather conditions (ex: rainfall and temperature) permit normal plant growth.

Geographic conditions have major impacts on the growing season for any given area. The elevation, or the height above sea level, and temperature of a region are two of the main factors that affect the growing season.

While each crop has a specific growing season that depends on its genetic adaptation, growing seasons can generally be grouped into series of classes.

The distance from the equator can impact what the growing season is going to look like.

If there is higher elevation in the area, regardless to the distance from the equator it is prone have a shorter growing season.

In deserts growing season can last longer than any other on my presentation because its in a hotter climate and can grow longer with irrigation. Sometimes you can plant all year long.

Tropics are very similar to deserts because they both last longer than any other region. But the tropics don’t need irrigation because the weather usually brings rain often. Sometimes they can plant all year-round.
