When is the first frost date?
Comments (6)cpl100 - I don't know of any resource like that. In reality, anything will still be a guess, since there is variation from year to year as well as over short distances due to microclimates. Any resource will only be able to give you average last frost date unless you live very near someplace like a university or NOAA weather station that keeps detailed long term records. Even within one zip code, the first and last frost dates can vary quite a bit. My inlaws, who live only about 5 miles away as the crow flies, are probably 500 ft. higher than we are since we are right next to a relatively large river, while they are almost as high in our town as one can get. We get frosts much later in spring since we are in a valley, while they get earlier fall frosts due to their exposed spot and because the water keeps us warmer in fall. There's probably a 3 week difference in spring and 2 weeks in the fall. Also, this past spring, we had frosts 2 1/2 weeks later than usual - to Memorial Day, so there is variety from year to year. Your best bet would be to start keeping your own records for the future, and for now, ask around to your neighbors who have gardens....See MoreFirst Frost date?
Comments (1)After several brushes with frost, we had our first one a couple of weeks ago. So my dahlias are safely (more or less) in the basement. The callas are still outside in the window boxes since they stay warmer than the flower beds. I should probably get them soon, though. The usual recommendation with dahlias is to wait until after they are frosted, then dig the tubers for storage. The first frost is usually mild enough to not damage anything a few inches below ground. The flowers don't seem to usually last - at least mine don't - so if I want them, I try to cut them the day before a frost warning. Since we adopted the vegetarian cat inside flowers are a bit of a challenge. His current record is something like 5 seconds from the time the flowers are arranged in the vase to the time he has them destroyed on the floor....See MoreFirst Frost Date Estimated to be November 12 or 13,...
Comments (3)They sell a whole bunch of stuff, & the words to the wise are: 1. Get there *early*! There's plenty of parking, but it fills up fast, & the later you are, the further away you have to park, & the further you have to walk to get to the plants, & they'll all be gone when you get there! 2. Don't think "maybe?...well, I'll come back to that one." It won't be there. Take your little red wagon & grab stuff as you go, & if you get too much, leave the plants at an attended waiting area & take your now-empty little red wagon around just as fast as you can go!...See MoreWorst First Dates Ever
Comments (2)Yes, that ankle monitor one is good, but washing the cat is too. Funny stuff....See MoreAmazing Aunt Audrey
