The gardeners' growing season starts in April for cool-weather crops. A good time to plant tender vegetables and flowers is after Mother's Day, presumably following the last frost. The most popular flowers are impatiens, marigolds, geraniums, and perennials. Many people prefer to grow what the deer don't eat, however, and it is getting harder and harder to find plants they dislike. Vegetable growers have success with such things as tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, pumpkins, and corn.
Herb gardens do well here and are becoming more and more popular.
First frost can be expected after mid-September. The Norwalk River winds its way from its source, the Great Swamp in the Farmingville section of Ridgefield, north along Route 35, across to Route 7 and southward, through a small slice of Redding, then through Wilton and Norwalk. The river stretches through roughly seven miles of Ridgefield seven miles of Wilton, and four miles in Norwalk. Its elevation ranges from 590 feet to sea level. I have a question you haven't answered.
