Why is the frost date important?

The average last frost date is a critical piece of information for gardeners and farmers. Planting too early can result in frost damage to young plants, while planting too late may not leave enough time for the crop to mature before the first frost of autumn.

Where do I find my average last frost date?

You can find this information from local agricultural extension services, online weather resources, or by searching for 'last frost date [your city]'.

Is this the only date I can plant?

No, this calculator determines the latest possible planting date. You can often plant earlier, especially if you use season extension techniques like cold frames or row covers to protect plants from a late frost.
