During the growing season the field affords striking evidence of the influence of different manurial dressings.
The growing season lasts about 135 days, from early in May till late in September, but agriculture is limited to the raising of a few vegetables.
It is not necessarily deep culture, and during the growing season the cultivation is preferably very shallow.
During the growing season the winds are usually light, but in the late summer and autumn occasional dry, hot, southerly winds (" hot southers ") prove very destructive to vegetation.
An abundant rainfall during the growing season is also a desideratum.
