The Garden Bug: Frost dates

By Brenda Weaver

Knowing your local average frost dates helps you calculate when to plant your fall veggies, as each kind varies in their tolerance and will need time to mature to harvest before a freeze can damage them.

Light freezes of 29 to 32 F are destructive to most vegetation; 24 F or colder temps will likely inflict heavy damage to most garden plants. Go to www.almanac.com/gardening/frostdates to find frost dates near you.
