Another great video.
Thank you Scott for producing this video ! I'm going to Nat'l gardening assoc. sight like you suggested ! I'm from N.E. Ohio where anything can happen ! But I'm with Patricia, Memorial Weekend is best ! After that , too late !
Thanks! I searched that NOA site before and was not happy with it. I could not find the info either. Just went to both of your recommended sides and was able to retrieve the information that I needed very useful, thank you
We always go by the Memorial Day weekend for our safe planting date also. We're Zone 4a/4b right on the border of the two zones. Thanks for the explanation of the zones. My father was a fabulous gardener, we always had fresh produce or the home canned variety. It wasn't until I got out on my own that I discovered those tomatoes in the grocery store were very poor substitutes for the 'real thing' 🙂
I'm an avid gardener like you. I always loved a second opinion.
