PaulF · January 10, 2016

I tend to pay attention to average last frost date, actual soil temperature and historical last frost date. Somewhere in all those numbers is a date when tomatoes and peppers get planted. Mostly it is what the weather is like when I finally get around to feeling like it is time to plant without losing everything and then wait a few more days just to be sure.

Pretty dang scientific, huh.
