Frequently Asked Questions
What is a frost date?
Frost dates are the average dates of the last spring frost and first fall frost in your area. These dates help you determine when it's safe to plant tender vegetables and when to protect or harvest crops before winter.
When should I start seeds indoors?
Start seeds indoors 4-8 weeks before your last spring frost date. Tomatoes and peppers need 6-8 weeks, while lettuce and herbs need only 4-6 weeks. Check seed packets for specific timing.
Can I plant before the last frost date?
Cold-hardy crops (peas, spinach, kale, broccoli) can be planted 2-4 weeks before the last frost. Wait until after the last frost for tender plants like tomatoes, peppers, squash, and beans.
