Seasonal context
Rainfall and the growing season in Hala
August has the highest average precipitation (52 mm); November has the lowest (2 mm). Compare this pattern with the planting windows and your water supply.
During wetter months, check that beds and containers drain after heavy rain. During drier months, plan how you will keep seeds and new transplants watered. Monthly averages can hide long dry spells and intense storms; they do not show soil moisture, humidity or this week's weather.
Frost-free does not mean every month is suitable. In tropical and monsoon climates, rainfall, heat, drainage and the cultivar can set the practical growing season. Match the temperature window to these conditions and check advice from a local grower before buying planting material.

Local growing check
Before choosing cabbages for Hala
- August is the wettest month in the rainfall grid, averaging about 52 mm. Check how your own bed drains and plan watering around actual soil moisture; monthly rain totals are not an irrigation schedule.
The temperature and rainfall tables on this page show the underlying climate estimates. How these suitability checks work · Record what happens in your garden.
Before you plant cabbages
Use the calendar to plan ahead, then check the conditions in your own garden.
- Measure the soil at sowing depth. Aim for at least 7°C (44.6°F); the calendar estimates soil warmth from air temperatures and cannot measure your bed.
- In a frost-free climate, check seasonal rainfall, humidity and heat before planting. A month with suitable average temperatures can still be too wet, dry or hot for this crop.
- Harden off plants raised indoors: gradually expose them to outdoor light, wind and temperature before their final move into the bed.
- Use the maturity range on your seed packet when choosing a variety. Cold, short days and transplant stress can make harvest later than the calendar estimate.
Choose the cabbage season before choosing the date
Decide whether you want small fresh heads or large storage heads. This affects spacing, time in the bed and the number of plants worth growing.
Transplant healthy plants into firm, fertile ground with drainage. Check young growth for caterpillars and inspect any protective netting so that pests are not trapped inside with the plants.
Cut firm heads when ready rather than leaving every plant until the same date. Record splitting or weather damage so that next season's batch size matches the rate you can use the crop.
Growing in a container
Choose a small-heading cultivar and give each plant its recommended spacing. A cabbage is not a cut-and-come-again salad simply because its young leaves fit in a small pot.
What to record this season
Did the intended harvest season match the variety, and did the heads split? Add the cultivar, sowing date and conditions to your growing record so you can compare next season.

Why these dates
Frost-relative timing needs a dependable seasonal frost date. Hala has no such date in this record, so this page compares monthly temperatures with the crop's model range instead. Local wet and dry seasons, day length and cultivar requirements still need a separate check.
The model uses a growing-temperature band for cabbages between 7°C (44.6°F)44.6°F (7°C) and 25°C (77°F)77°F (25°C) — and in Hala that is November to February, 4 months of the year, taken from this location's own monthly averages. The planting window begins near the start of this period. The catalog estimate is 70 to 100 days from planting to maturity under suitable conditions.

Can I grow cabbages in Hala?
The calendar estimates a planting window, not a guarantee of success. August is the wettest month in the rainfall grid, averaging about 52 mm. Check how your own bed drains and plan watering around actual soil moisture; monthly rain totals are not an irrigation schedule.
When should I plant cabbages in Hala?
The temperature-based window is 1 Nov - 16 Dec. Hala has no dependable frost season: November to February have monthly averages inside the model range for cabbages. Check seasonal rainfall, heat and cultivar requirements before planting.
When might cabbages be ready to harvest in Hala?
The estimated period is 10 Jan - 9 Feb, based on 70 to 100 days from the modeled planting date. Cultivar, planting material and growing conditions can change this interval; check the plant as well as the calendar.
How much frost will cabbages tolerate?
Cold tolerance varies with cultivar, plant age, acclimatisation and the duration of a freeze. A plant surviving frost does not mean its leaves, heads, flowers or developing crop will remain undamaged. Check the forecast and the variety's local advice.
