Your seasonal context
Understand the place before the date.
The G6X area uses a representative location near 46.715°, -71.261°. In the nearby historical climate grid, July is the warmest month on average (19.3°C), while January is the coolest (-12.5°C). June has the highest mean daily precipitation (3.69 mm).
Monthly mean temperatures are below freezing in January, February, March, November, December. Outdoor planting during those months needs a separate protected-growing assessment. Bush snap beans are frost sensitive: confirm local frost guidance and suitable soil conditions before sowing or transplanting.
Light at your latitude
At 46.715° N, the length of the day changes independently of temperature. Compare the middle of three seasons when planning your garden.
Geometric daylight estimate from latitude and solar declination, rounded to 0.1 hour. This is time above a flat horizon, excluding atmospheric refraction, hills, buildings and cloud cover. It is not the direct-sun exposure of your bed. About solar-position calculations.

Distances use GeoNames representative postal coordinates, which may be estimated; they are not driving distances. Nearby areas often share one NASA POWER grid cell, so identical climate values are expected. Differences shown here describe the climate grids, not a measured difference between individual gardens.
The growing checklist
Give bush snap beans a considered start.
Use the packet spacing and keep the seed row labeled. A small second sowing may be easier to manage than planting every seed in a single session.
- Choose a variety suited to your available space and compare its days to maturity with local seasonal guidance.
- Prepare the seedbed and follow the packet depth and spacing.
- Confirm a suitable frost-free window with your local forecast and gardening adviser.
- Inspect soil moisture and drainage in the actual bed. Regional rainfall averages cannot tell you whether roots need water today.
Read University of Minnesota Extension vegetable guidance. Its crop-care principles are useful here; its Minnesota planting dates are not applied to Quebec.
One small next step
Make a date to check your garden.
Choose your own reminder date after checking local advice. This is a personal planning prompt, not a calculated planting recommendation.
