Re: website

There is a big difference between the average frost free date and the after all danger of frost date! I wouldn't plant tender stuff before the latter either, but have to admit playing the odds with certain plants.

Hmmmm. Every time I get anxious and plant before mid-may, I end up sorry I
did. And the some garden clubs in the area also suggest mid-may as a safe
time to plant "after all danger of frost." Not too long after we moved to
the greater Dayton area, it snowed Easter weekend, a wet, heavy snow that
caused massive damage. Perhaps I'm just not the risk taker I thought I was,
either.

Thanks for the info!

Blessings,

Bonnie

According to my references (never lived in that area, just Denver) the
mean date of last frost is 17 April in both Indianapolis and Columbus.
Guess the key is "mean", not the last recorded frost ever.

How can Denver have an earlier frost free date than Ohio?  We aren't
"safe"
until May 15th here!  What is wrong with that picture?  I imagine the
mountain areas all have their own micro climates, too, where they
don't dare
plant until later as well.

I believe the last frost date in Denver is the first week of May.

Donna, you remind me of a question I wanted to ask the list. Does
anybody know when Denver's last frost date is? Somebody wants some

I told them they had to wait until them. Don't want to deliver a
Hibiscus-cycle.
