I can't recall were I found "ours", I thought I got it off a map at
The Farmers Almanac, and now I can't find that map. Grrr...
Portland, OR
Growing days=217
Spring frost=Apr. 3
Fall frost= Nov. 7
I asked my gardening neighbors and they said this was about right.
Where I am (Goble- just 40 miles Northwest of Portland) it's a
''sheltered spot'' so I might be able to bump that to earlier. But
for you, you might add a week or two for good measure. Course here,
our first fall frost wasn't until just the week before Christmas, and
it's been above freezing ever since. Odd year.
