In a sense we only have two seasons…winter and growing season. We can have better or poorer results if our timing (or the weather) is off. We primarily have to concern ourselves with frost dates and then a bit around whether a crop plant prefers cooler or warmer weather. For example, if we plant most radishes too late in the spring, and the weather gets warmer, they’ll produce no root and simply bolt, going to flower.
Part of the reason we enjoy watching Mark’s videos is for the year-round variety (which we’re jealous of) and some of the different varieties of plants that can be grown there that we can’t here. There are a few things we grow that we don’t necessarily see on SSM, but don’t know whether that is due to plants not liking the climate, or the family not caring for the plant. I presume that we won’t see fruit trees like apples due to insufficient chill time…of course, that is more than made up for with citrus, banana and some more exotic fruits.
