I know there are sites that list the last/first frost dates for your area,
but considering our errattic weather this season, is there a site that lists
the minimum nightime temps for a variety of veggies?
Thanks


There's some info on it he

http://www.nysaes.cornell.edu/recomm...ransplant.html

You can find more info via Google. Type this into the
search box (note the punctuation - type it exactly like
this):

"minimum temperature" + vegetables

A lot of the results will be of the first frost/last frost
type, but some should be useful.

From personal experience, I can tell you that lettuce and
Swiss chard can both survive 15 F temperatures.

Eliot Coleman's book 'Four Season Harvest' probably has this
type of info too.
