Everything is harvested in July and lost in June and autumn. It can't be ignored that it doesn't rain after beginning of autumn. "Everything is harvested when it rains in beginning of autumn, and everyone is worried when it doesn't rain in beginning of autumn", because "beginning of autumn is an empty autumn when it doesn't rain, and everything is always half harvested".
