Reading the season in Turlock #2
With roughly 348 frost-free days, Turlock #2 gardens fit long-season crops — melons, winter squash, sweet potatoes — with room left for spring and fall rounds of greens and roots. The first frost around Dec 20 is late enough that fall planting is a full second season, not an afterthought.
