English term or phrase: shoulder season(s)
"Tarp converts to greenhouse for shoulder seasons." This is the description of a netted cover used to protect your garden plants.

I found this: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/shoulder_season but I don't quite know what it is in French.

Thank you in advance!

Explanation:
intersaison est ce qui me vient à l'esprit si il faut un terme générique, mais selon les plantes concernées et la région, cela pourrait être "en attendant le printemps" ou "pendant l'hiver" ...

mi-saison(s)


Explanation:
Dans le domaine touristique en France, les hôtels parlent couramment de "tarifs mi-saison", mais ça n'a rien à voir avec les plantes et je ne sais pas si l'expression s'utilise au Canada.
