Does Start of Summer affect only the calendar day?

No. It begins at the year’s exact seasonal handover and remains active until Grain Buds starts; the printed date marks the entry point rather than a midnight switch, so check the current almanac before timing an important launch.

What is best to launch at Start of Summer?

It favors work that is already mature enough to be seen, such as a finished release, client approach, or public offer, because the seasonal pattern moves from preparation toward outward growth. If the basics are still untested, finish those first and launch one ready item rather than everything at once.
