Frost Free Dates

Filed under: Weather — bob @ 10:05 am

There is a possibility of frost in our area tonight.  That’s not surprising considering the cool spring we’ve had so far.  I doubt if many gardeners have tender plants set out yet.

The good news is: every day that goes by brings us closer to the frost free date.  The National Weather Service has weather stations all over the State.  They have figured out when the last chance of frost will be for all of those areas.  Here a link to a chart they put together.

It’s very interesting to see how wide the spread in temperatures is; even at neighboring stations.

We have a lot of plants still in trays; a lot of them still have to be transplanted into bigger cells and pots.  I plan to move them inside this evening.

Many of these plants won’t be able to survive freezing temperatures.

Better to be safe than sorry.
