Two "seasons"...I would have envied you before but now, I too dwell is the land of "who cares how many days to maturity"!!! I also read that getting the tap root deep is supposed to lead to more efficient water usage and having to water less. It might help you speed your 2nd season up...after all, that "two whole weeks of frost" might get ya!!!
