FROST DATES
Determine your last spring frost date and ideal planting times by using the map at www.ncdc.noaa.gov/file/day-last-spring-freeze-map.jpg. It’s much more accurate than relying on common zone charts and can prevent a lot of heartache caused by frozen seedlings planted too soon. If you are not in the United States, a quick online search for the last frost dates in your country should provide all the information you need.
