Harvest calendar

Lịch mùa vụ

This calendar records when aromatic raw materials are harvested across the 15 producing regions in the library. Each row ties one plant to one region; harvest months shift with the year, altitude and weather, so the table shows the main season only.

Timing decides much of a batch's quality. Jasmine is picked at dawn, Damask rose over a few weeks in late spring, cajuput leaves in the dry season when cineole runs higher. Each month page lists the plants in season and where they are grown.
