Reading the season in Daytona Beach
With roughly 340 frost-free days, Daytona Beach 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 Jan 9 is late enough that fall planting is a full second season, not an afterthought.
