Nonsense.

Aside from being very centred on northern hemisphere even if you ignore the
months and just use the seasons it is very inappropriate for many areas. I
am guessing it might suit cool temperate climates. It certainly does not
suit warm temperate, subtropical or tropical.

Such over generalisations are not at all useful. Growing vegetables is not
a one-size-fits-all occupation, the core of it is to know your local
conditions and this is no help. In fact it may do more harm than good by
leading the beginner to failure where talking to locals will lead them to
success.
