Which plants grow in all seasons and which are seasonal?
Plants that grow in all seasons include perennial plants like mango trees, neem trees, and many evergreen trees. Seasonal plants include crops like wheat (winter crop), rice (monsoon crop), and vegetables that grow in specific seasons. The chapter mentions that onion can be planted and harvested in different seasons, while mango has a fruiting season in summer.
Explanation
The chapter introduces the concept of 'Cropping season' as the season in which a particular crop is grown, and 'Season of fruiting' as the season when fruit trees produce fruits. The example of Alphonso mango shows that fruiting season is summer. Students are expected to observe and record which plants are perennial and which are seasonal during their visits.
