Default When historically is the last freeze?

April 15.....last frost date. That's the one most heard around these
parts but beware, it's an "average" so you still might be in for a
frost. Frost can kill tender young plants.


That is the AVERAGE last date. I don't generally plant until around
May1 since the actual last frost may be at least +- two weeks. Plus it
can be very cool in the last half of april and the plants don't grow
leaving them more vunerable to cut worms. Wallowaters can help tomatoes
but even they tend to be spindly.
