Growing Season95 days
USDA Hardiness Zone 2b is one of the coldest growing zones in the continental US, with a short 95-day growing season. Success here means starting seeds indoors early, choosing cold-hardy varieties, and using season extension techniques like cold frames and row covers. Focus on fast-maturing crops and frost-tolerant vegetables.
