All seeds grown in the high wind prairie, Midwest, in macro-climate zone 5(ish). Average dewpoint in summer is around 60. Soil is a loamy clay. Although my preference is organic, I have used commercial fertilizers from time to time. Growing days are approximately 135.
Early September brings with it the first sniffs of fall. The garden is at maximum color as the green of the leaves begin to fade. Early September is also one of the most productive seasons of the Zone 5 garden. Your harvest basket will likely be heavy, especially as you are nestling the winter squashes among the peppers and tomatoes!
