Reading the season in Lake Havasu City
With roughly 358 frost-free days, Lake Havasu City 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 29 is late enough that fall planting is a full second season, not an afterthought.
