Reading the season in Nature Park-Beaverton
With roughly 297 frost-free days, Nature Park-Beaverton 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 5 is late enough that fall planting is a full second season, not an afterthought.
