Reading the season in Weslaco
With roughly 357 frost-free days, Weslaco 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 31 is late enough that fall planting is a full second season, not an afterthought.
