Which side of the equator?

I hate to cause trouble chaps smiley - biggrin but as well as variations in climate to take into account eg Temperate Maritime climate of UK vs Sunny California and Middle European, there are researchers in South Africa Australia and New Zealand at least.

So the Calander may have to allow for different Climatic conditions as well as not stating that Midsummer day is in June.

This means that any reference to planting onions by the week before Mickelmas or the like won't be universal smiley - yikes.

Perhaps it would be best to stick to Spring and Summer type of descriptions and note somewhere early that there are hemisphere differences.

What this will mean for a window box on Magarathea I just shudder to contemplate.
