Soil temps for planting out cool season plants

jmsieglaff · April 21, 2018

Does anyone have a good reference or experience on soil temperatures needed to support planting out onions, lettuce, chard, and broccoli?

Thanks!

I did find this link. It has the usual seed germination temps but also a column with transplanting temps.

The sun and warm weekend really warmed and dried our beds. I was able to fork them last night and cool season plants and seeds will go out this week.

Not soil temperature, but pretty good info:

That's a handy temperature chart.

So warm here yesterday, up to 15 C/60 F, I went out digging and weeding with thoughts of planting some early peas. But the ground on that side of the garden is still frozen if you go down a couple inches.
