Planting windows are estimated from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals (average frost dates and monthly temperatures) at the weather stations nearest you, and hardiness zones from the USDA 2023 Plant Hardiness Zone Map (PRISM, Oregon State University). Your microclimate, elevation and the year's weather can shift things by a few weeks; your local cooperative extension office is the best tie-breaker. Place data: U.S. Census Bureau.
