Growth

The growing season in this area is less than 150 days a year, I am told 100 days, elsewhere I read other figures, but basically it falls between the last frost of winter & the first frost of Fall. Let's say, between 120 and 140 days.
Which explains why everything is determined to grow so quickly. In churches, prayers are said for a good growing season, indicating the vulnerability that people feel.

I'm guessing they will be harvested in the July . I recall seeing local sweetcorn at road side stalls  one July when I was here. These particular fields may be growing corn for the cattle at the Dairy over the road. They grow very nice milk & yoghurt!
