Climate signals

UH CTAHR Planting, Harvest Periods and Spacing of Vegetables is a University of Hawaii Cooperative Extension table compiled by Richard Ebesu in April 1993 for Kauai County.
The source says planting and harvest periods will vary depending on variety, temperature, and climates.
The table labels crop rows with C meaning cool climate, M meaning mild climate, and W meaning warm climate.
The table provides best time to plant, row spacing, plant spacing, and days to harvest fields for each crop row.
The PDF cautions that it may no longer represent the most up-to-date information, especially if it contains pesticide uses that are not currently licensed or labeled for Hawaii.

Planning notes

Use the crop windows as Kauai County crop-window timing signals, not cultivar-specific guarantees or current pesticide guidance.
Bush beans are year round; Swiss chard, sweet corn, and cucumber are year round; eggplant, okra, green onion, radish, and tomato are year round.
Cool-climate rows include beets Sept-Apr, broccoli Sept-Apr, head cabbage Sept-Feb, carrots Sept-Apr, leaf lettuce Sept-Feb, spinach Nov-Mar, and turnips Sept-Apr.
Other source rows include bell pepper Sept-Apr, pumpkin Mar-Aug, and watermelon Jan-June.
The table also has source rows for summer squash and winter squash, but this guide does not link the catalog's winter-squash varieties because the source row split is too easy to overstate.
Use these priority catalog links as crop-level examples, not UH CTAHR cultivar recommendations.
