Reading the season in Augusta 2
With roughly 202 frost-free days, Augusta 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 Oct 30 is late enough that fall planting is a full second season, not an afterthought.
