Counted from your station’s freeze dates: seed starting from the average last frost (NDSU Extension), planting outside from the date frost beats only 1 year in 10 (Purdue Extension), as on the home page calendar.
How My garden works
Your place
Your ZIP code gives your zone (USDA 2023 map, PRISM) and the nearest NOAA station with freeze records. The station is named, with its distance.
Our guides
A fall date shows only when a guide has a source for your state. Otherwise you get your zone’s rows, which may come from another state.
Your device
Your ZIP code and plants stay in this browser. Clear them any time; nothing is sent to us.
