|---|---|---|---|
| Sowing | Shovain | Saewet | Begins during the middle of the cold season, through to its end, and into the season of regrowth. The time to sow the crops to prepare for the Reaping season. |
| Reaping | Seähain | Geríp | Takes place during the hottest time of the season. The time to reap the crops and prepare for the Fallowing season. |
| Fallowing | Vrallofain | Fealh | Begins near the End of the Year and moves into the beginning of the New Year. Begins with the falling of leaves until the middle of the cold season.
