Reading the season in Edgartown
With roughly 200 frost-free days, Edgartown 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 3 is late enough that fall planting is a full second season, not an afterthought.
