A Few Questions Gardeners Often Ask
Are frost dates always exact?
Not always, dear. They are averages gathered over many years. Nature occasionally surprises us.
Can frost happen after the last frost date?
Sometimes it can. Watching your local forecast is always a wise companion.
Why are my dates different from another town nearby?
Hills, valleys, lakes, and even neighborhoods can create their own small climates.
Is it better to wait a little longer?
When in doubt, patience rarely harms a garden.

Before You Wander On...
Gardens teach us that every season arrives in its own time.
If you are not quite ready to plant today, that is perfectly alright.
Your garden will still be waiting tomorrow.
And whenever you need a little reassurance, you can always stop by again.
With love,
