How these lists are worked out
Every crop in our database has its timing written relative to frost - tomatoes go out a week or two after the last spring frost, fall lettuce is sown about six weeks before the first fall frost, and so on. Apply those offsets to a state’s average frost dates and you get the windows that fall in each month.
State averages are a starting point. For your own town, enter your ZIP code in the planting calendar, or read how the averages are measured in the frost dates guide.
