Frost Free Calculator based on Zip Code (USA Only)
When can you expect to be able to plant? When should you expect that first frost? Most gardeners worry about their garden zone, but that only tells part of the story. Plug in your zip code and get thirty years worth of reporting data to predict the last frost date in the spring and the first date in the fall.
Based on the frost free calculator, we’ll provide you guidelines for indoor and outdoor starting dates for the most common vegetables grown.
