We've experienced a bit of a climate change here and I'm still not used to it. Heat and drought play a large part, so crops need to be ready to harvest by July mostly. It's aggravating because you just never know how many days or weeks you have left before the rains stop. Two years 'ago it caught me unaware and I lost what I thought would be a great bean crop, the ones I would freeze for winter. It quit raining the end of May that summer. No rain until about November with heat you would not believe. And it continues to be unpredictable, very aggravating.
I grew up learning to plant by the moon and that stuck with me all these years, but no more. The moon refuses to tell me how soon the rain will stop, how hot it will be and when we go into drought. Anyway, I know what you mean by tricky zones and weather, Rick, it's a puzzle sometimes. The only thing for sure is that it is not consistent.
