The growing season, which is the period between the last killing frost in the spring and the first killing frost in the fall, is generally between 100 and 200 days long. Destructive frosts seldom occur later than the Ides of Proserpina or before the Nones of Torbada. Martilles has predominantly hyper productive Andisol soils. These were formed from the super eruption that created the Burgundian Caldera around 5000 BC. Underneath this soil is a firm bedding of coastal alluvium and the colluvium from the Southern Spine. The agricultural and logging sectors have long taken advantage of these rich soils, but the shorter growing season limits the scale of commercial farming and some areas have been totally stripped of their nutrients over time. The dominant agricultural products of the region are potatoes, corn, apples, cranberries, and blueberries in ascending order of harvest volume. There is a minor vineyard boom as climate change has made the planting of wine grapes more feasible, but the predominant product is ice wine which has a limited audience and is primarily enjoyed within the province. | The growing season, which is the period between the last killing frost in the spring and the first killing frost in the fall, is generally between 100 and 200 days long.
