The German phrase “Wetter Heide 16 Tage” translates to “weather heathland 16 days” and refers to a specific period in the phenological calendar used by farmers and gardeners in Central Europe. It begins on May 14th and ends on May 29th and is believed to be a time when the weather is particularly favorable for planting and agriculture.
During this period, the days are typically warm and sunny, with little rain, providing ideal conditions for seed germination and plant growth. Farmers and gardeners have observed this pattern over many years and have traditionally used the “Wetter Heide 16 Tage” as a guide for their planting schedules.
