Great stuff! I get a weekly email from https://www.spoon-tamago.com/ that I like a lot and they are always talking about micro-seasons but I'd never known the background on it until now, thanks!
I looked up the microseasons in wikipedia, they are so specific and I think this is very moving. People in farming cultures always have a very, very keen sense observing nature, and this was necessary since they were so dependend on it. Plant your plants at the wrong time - they will die - you'll run out of food.
Living in Europe, our "microseasons" are quite different, but it would be a worthwhile attempt to explore the microseasons here. At the moment, it seems to be "first zucchini flowers appear" time of the year in my garden. :-)
