Consider 'Days to Maturity'

4
  1. Solution: Choose annual vegetable varieties with 'days to maturity' that fit within your local growing season.
  2. Explanation: 'Days to maturity' indicates the time from seeding or transplanting to harvest. In areas with short growing seasons (like Zone 4), select varieties with shorter 'days to maturity' numbers to ensure they produce a harvest before the first fall frost. Compare this number to your average frost-free dates.
  3. Notes: Critical factor for short-season climates like Minnesota.
