Frogleg expounded:

The 'Victory Garden' books should be apropos, although western MA may
be entirely different than the Boston area. I find them quite useful
quite a distance south -- I just make adjustments in the times for
sowing, setting out, etc.

It's colder out there, and they have better snow cover than we have,
other than that it's fairly similar. The Victory Garden books are a
good suggestion.
