> ...Basically, we will have very hot to hot, bone-dry weather (except for
heavy dew most evenings) until early October. By mid October hot, dusty
Hamsin winds end the summer and the rainy season begins. From November
we basically have weather that in New York State we would call spring -
wet, wet, wet, and chilly enough to need a jacket in the
morning/evening. There are usually a a few weeks in January/February
with a sprinkling of frost on the ground before sunrise, and a few snow
flurries, but they don't stick. Nothing like a killing frost ....

Sure sounds a lot like our desert climate except for the rain.  We normally
have 2 vegetable gardens. Cool season  vegetables (basically edible roots,
edible leaves and cole types) are planted beginning in September continuing
through February.  Warm season types are planted late February through April
depending on the type.  A few like corn, beans and squash types can be
planted for a 2nd crop from July through August.  I will provide references
by private email since I don't believe this topic is of interest to most
subscribers.  -Olin
