We were far enough north of (and high enough above) Lake Ontario that we were in zone 4a. If we waited until there was a near zero chance of frost before we planted anything we wouldn't have got started until the middle of June. In especially unlucky years, our first frost in the fall came any time after right now. Usually it had the grace to wait until mid to late September. <br /><br />Our frost dates vary more down here than they ever did in Ontario. In the few years I have been here, I've seen the first frost come as early as Oct 15 and as late as November 27. In the spring, I've seen anywhere from March 7 through April 15.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09092424684260339977noreply@blogger.com
