Winters were cold and summers were mild
Depending on where in Connecticut you are, and on your particular micro-climate, Connecticut ranges from a 5B to a 7A USDA Hardiness Zones.The southern coast is warmest, at 7A. The northwest and northeast hills are coldest as a zone 5B. The rest of the state is rated as a 6B.(See related links, below, for a map.

The colonial regions with the best soil and climate for large-scale agriculture were primarily the Southern colonies, particularly in areas like Virginia and the Carolinas. These regions benefited from fertile soil and a warm climate, which were ideal for cultivating cash crops such as tobacco, rice, and indigo. The combination of ample rainfall and a long growing season further enhanced agricultural productivity, making these areas economically significant in the colonial economy.
Connecticut's weather is warm not hot but not cold.Connecticut's weather is quite variable. In one week in December 2008: A few days ago it was 65 and sunny. Today it is 25 degrees (F), windy, and snowing (6-10 inches expected). Tonight will be 6 degrees(F) with winds of 20 mph.
In broad terms, Connecticut is bisected by the Connecticut River, which has a broad tidal estuary. The river's broad valley is fertile farmland, used notably for apples, corn, and shade tobacco. The northwest and northeastern corners of the state are hilly and forested. The eastern portion is known in modern times as part of the Last Green Valley between Washington DC and Boston. This sparsely populated, unpolluted swath of forests, rivers and lakes covers most of eastern Connecticut and parts of south-central Massachusetts. The southern (Long Island Sound) shoreline is marked by salt marshes and beaches.
Connecticut is more likely to experience a blizzard compared to Mississippi. This is due to Connecticut's northern location and its exposure to winter storms that can bring heavy snowfall and strong winds. In contrast, Mississippi has a warmer climate and typically experiences milder winter weather, making blizzards highly unlikely in that state.

Connecticut was founded by Thomas Hooker for religeus freedom.
it was not too easy because colonial Connecticut was mostly a fishing area. the land in Connecticut was hilly but had good soil for farming. so technically the answer to this question is... it depends on where you are in Connecticut to find a good place for farming.
The Connecticut colony was founded because Thomas Hooker didnt agree with the rules of Massachusetts so he founded a new colony.
