Vine Growth Cycle

Below is a snapshot of the Vine growth cycle of both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. Please note that the weather and seasons are 6 months apart between the Northern and the Southern Hemispheres due to the Earth’s axial tilt. As the Earth orbits the Sun, one hemisphere is always tilted nearer to the Sun, there by receiving more sunlight and experiencing Summer, while the other hemisphere receiving less sunlight shall experience winter. Hence, when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere (June-August), it would be winter in the Southern Hemisphere. (June-August)
