Yup. Essex county grows all sorts of stuff. We have some of the most fertile land in the country, we have the longest growing season, and a favorable climate to boot(think northern California).
Have any of you tried growing fruits and vegetables. I have and it's hard work, at least in the South where you have summer highs of 40 degrees centigrade and lots of pests!
You really think so? I never said exact, that's why I said "think", Northern California, as in "something similar". Believe it or not, it's true. Would you feel better if I said the very, very bottom of Oregon? We also share a moderate climate and latitude with with Barcelona, Beijing, and Rome.
I'm not a meteorologist, so I could very well be wrong, but these daytime highs don't look "absurdly" different to me during the growing season. These are the best I could come up with for California since my work likes to block nearly everything under the sun.
I'm completly open to being corrected.
Even Sacramento doesn't appear to be wildly off either

Summers in southern Ontario (and even into far southern Quebec) are quite comparable and even sometimes warmer than those in so-called warm climate areas of the world. For example, these areas are as warm as the French Riviera or Sydney, Australia in the summertime. And usually warmer than LA or San Francisco.
But the big difference is in winter temperatures. You just don't get the long freezing periods you get in Windsor, Ontario anywhere in California that is agricultural. Regardless of latitude.

I live like 450km south of Toronto and our temperatures are not too different from Windsor, ON. However, no one in the US would even call Detroit a warm climate, no way. In Canada Windsor might be a warm climate, but here Windsor is a frigid icebox no one is denying that southern Ontario gets very warm summers, it does. But to compare Windsor's temperatures to coastal California's? You're comparing apples and oranges here. Might as well compare Windsor with Edinburgh.
