Which colonists landed during the winter and could not grow crops?

The colonists who landed during the winter and struggled to grow crops were the Pilgrims, who arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in December 1620. The harsh winter conditions severely impacted their ability to cultivate food, leading to food shortages and high mortality rates. Many of the settlers did not survive the first winter, but those who did were eventually aided by local Native American tribes, which helped them learn to grow crops suitable for the region.
