It is always exciting in the spring when we are getting started but it may be more fun to actually harvest some things so I guess that early summer would have to win.

My favorite season is the growing season. Right now I am looking forward to the non-growing season.

As much as I hate the heat, I'd have to say summer, because I am getting all of those harvests. I'm too busy to enjoy spring, and, though fall is my favorite season overall, you specified gardening season.

Fall without a doubt.

I like the spring because I can plant in late winter and begin harvesting corn and potatoes in late spring. Second is fall, because it is cooling off and I can plant a few things for the winter and then dream about the next spring.

Fall is my favorite by far, we have been teased by a couple of cooler days but summer is still here and I'm sure looking forward to cooler weather.

Hard to choose, but I suppose summer. Long days, lots of sun at a high angle, but here near the Pacific coast, usually not all that hot. Don't like the dryness of summer, but it's dry about 6 months of the year anyway.

Fall is my favorite season, gardening or not. I love the cool mornings, cleaning up the garden any time of the day because the temps are bearable even with the sun.
Some times the harvesting gets ahead of me and I have no time for myself. I need to plan better.

Garden season here is mid April till early October. Enjoy it all, except when its 100 degrees or better. Would guess early summer might be my favorite tho. Things are start to really grow, and the future looks good for something fresh out of the garden.

Fall. Since I can garden through the winter here, fall is like a second spring in that it's a season of renewal: I clear out the spent summer crops and start the fall/winter crops.
Also, October through the first half of December usually brings the best weather of the year. There are typically lots of mild, sunny days, gentle breezes, the humidity is low, and the nights are cool but not cold.
Though this year it looks like October is going to start out hot...maybe it won't stay that way for long. /crossing fingers

Don't know if I have one. Spring is pent up excitement to get things in the ground after a long winter of little activity. Summer is watching things grow and flourish in our skimpy three months of really warm/hot weather. Fall cools off and working in the garden is more fun and watching autumn leaves change is beautiful, and harvesting is the pay off. I like seasonal change, and don't think I could live in a warm climate all year round, though I grouse enough about cold weather.

I really like summer. I like being warm.
Today as I drove around I thought about how much I really dislike fall. I'm now perpetually cold and I hate it. I love the apples, squash and other fall harvest fruits and vegetables, but I really dislike the cold.
I definitely couldn't live in a warmer climate year round because the trade off for the lack of cold is mountains of big bugs and other critters like snakes.

So, what I am hearing is that when you retire you are going to come down here for the winter like all of the other snowbirds?

My favorite season is the Fall, and this year is the first time in 40+ years that I can really enjoy it since I retired Last November. Aspens are showing their colors, crisp cool air in the mornings, followed by warm afternoons and evenings all make this my favorite time of the year. Although we live in what is classified as a semi-arid desert, it is a short 45 minute drive to take in the Aspen colors in the mountains and see the progress being made on Bishop Castle. Bishop CastleAnd this year we can take off and drive to the Western Slope of Colorado, see more of the aspens, pull in some cold mountain air and spend some quality time with our new grandson.

So, what I am hearing is that when you retire you are going to come down here for the winter like all of the other snowbirds? Eh... I deliver papers to a couple of snowbirds and I can't quite comprehend the part where they just pack up and leave their home for months at a time. And, they still have to have snow removed and make sure the house is okay here in the winter. We have discussed, however, the idea of someday owning a vacation property that we could visit every once in a while, and then rent it out when we're not using it ourselves. Not sure that will ever actually happen, but it's nice to think about. My top two choices for location for that are Virginia Beach and Panama City.
