Season Insights
End-of-season recap
French Marigold
Pollinator Garden
91% watered
Harvest Aug 18 · +2d late (GDD)
Warm season — +8% GDD vs avg
GDD harvest estimate was accurate to 2 days
Heat units tracked across 94 days from transplant. Zone 5b accumulated 641 GDD vs 593 typical — a warmer-than-average season.
Excellent watering consistency
91% of scheduled waterings completed. Only 2 missed windows all season. No measurable yield impact detected.
Earlier transplant recommended next year
Season compression was detectable in final 3 weeks. Planting 7 days earlier would avoid the late-August GDD slowdown in Minneapolis, MN.

Cool finish
3 high-consequence windows missed mid-season
