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


Salinas, CA. Only crops/trees that require a lot of heat or cold to
produce do not grow well here. I grow pretty much year-round, selecting
plants to match the season. I always have flowers of some sort growing.

The downside is that it is a very expensive place to live.
