Preguntas Frecuentes
What is the frost date?
The last spring frost date is when frost danger ends; the first fall frost date is when frost returns. Tender plants should not be planted before the last spring frost.
Why do frost dates matter?
Frost kills tender plants. Timing plantings around frost dates prevents crop loss. Starting seeds early ensures mature plants before first fall frost.
Are frost dates exact?
Frost dates are averages based on historical data. Actual frost can occur earlier or later. Experienced gardeners plant gradually to minimize risk.
Can I protect plants from frost?
Yes, use row covers, cloths, mulch, or water before frost events. Frost blankets work for light frosts on small plants.
How long is my growing season?
Growing season is the frost-free period. Calculate days between last spring frost and first fall frost. This determines which crops you can grow.
