The AHA's General Guide adds: 'Stable' should not be used as a condition. Furthermore, this term should not be used in combination with other conditions, which by definition often indicate a patient is unstable. (As one hospital spokesman put it, You can be dead and be stable.)
Growing season. The growing season is the part of the year during which local weather conditions (i.e. rainfall and temperature) permit normal plant growth. While each plant or crop has a specific growing season that depends on its genetic adaptation, growing seasons can generally be grouped into macro-environmental classes.
The life cycle of deciduous plants includes a growing season and a dormant season. Warm spring temperatures and rainfall wake deciduous plants from their slumber and they begin to form new leaf buds. As temperatures continue to warm, the leaves develop more fully and reach maturity by the time summer arrives. Leaves produce food for the plant and help with respiration.
