Reading the season in Langlois #2
With roughly 258 frost-free days, Langlois #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 Nov 29 is late enough that fall planting is a full second season, not an afterthought.
