on both ends of the growing season, at least here in Anchorage. What is hard to predict is rainfall. I always plant a little of everything, but some years I don't get good yields in some things because of too much rain/not enough sun. I can always count on cole crops and lettuce, peas, etc., but beans are a little more iffy. This year my zucchinis died back early because it was too wet in August.
