Default Question best, longest growing season in US

Hi: I'm curious about what area of the country is considered to have
the longest growing season and the best land to grow - what we used to
call a "truck garden" - fruit trees, vegetables and flowers? I'm
thinking somewhere in the south?

Thanks,
Connie



Connie, I would have to say the best place for a 'truck' garden would have
to be south eastern texas, just inland enough to avoid any potential
tropical storms. Expect a winter climate zone of 8-9.

Others may disagree
