That frost was a month late, though, but they have been known to come that late.<br/><br/>The trouble is the summer; plants die and stop producing in the heat. Tomatoes won't produce above 90, and more than 150 days are above 90 here; many are up to 126! Weeding is difficult then, when it's 105 at 5 am. W can grow things like chard year-round.

Can you basically grow year round or does it get a little too cold eventually? I'm so jealous of your citrus! That would be a dream! You’re one of the lucky ones with a nice and long growing season!
