Weather
Weather is another very important ingredient to gardening. Too hot, too cold,
humid, dry, windy, sunshine and rain. They are all important parts of a
successful gardening formula for your plants. The starting point to your
gardening season is to know what you can plant in your area and when. That's
where Frost Free Dates and Plant Hardiness zones come in.
Frost Free Dates:
Frost free Dates are the date of the last frost in the Spring and the first
killing frost of the fall for your specific area. The number of frost free
days is the number of days between these dates.
It is important to know the number of frost free days or frost free period
when planning your garden. It determines the variety of plants that can be
grown in your garden ,and excludes those that require a longer time to maturity
than your frost free days allows.
Armed with this knowledge, you can expand your gardening selection by planting
seed indoors in advance of the first frost free date of spring or buying
seedlings from a garden store.
Did you know? One pail of water can produce enough fog to cover
100 square miles to a depth of fifty feet.
