Reading the season in Sinton
With roughly 319 frost-free days, Sinton 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 17 is late enough that fall planting is a full second season, not an afterthought.
