Cesca,

We are lucky here in that we have three growing seasons - the growing 
really never stops.  Root crops go in now and are harvested through 
may as they are harvestable.  Same goes for all the greens and 
brassicas.  Snow peas are also good to plant now and will produce a 
little before it gets cold, but really takes off in January when it 
warms up.

In October the lows are in the 60's F - 15 c
November the lows are in the 50's F - 10 c
December & January the lows are in the 30's F - 0 c
February is back up to the 40's - 4 c
Then it warms up till July when we hit highs near 120f - 50 c

Hope that answers your questions
