The Darwin & Top End profile
Build-up, wet and dry rather than four seasons. The dry season is the main planting window. GrowCal uses this curated regional profile rather than claiming that every garden in Darwin has the same conditions.
Local frost pockets, shade, soil, aspect, container growing and variety can all change the sensible timing. Use these windows as a starting point and observe your own garden.
