Last frosts - JJB - 31-03-2021
I was looking for the predicted last frost date in our area and found this site
Interactive map of last frost dates
I was really surprised at the differences in areas. I'm always amazed at how Veggie can transplant tenders well before me, now I know why, her area is a month different to mine. It's not fair
RE: Last frosts - Bren - 31-03-2021
Looking at that map I'm in zone 12 last frost being May 1st to 10th, the site I use says second week in May so both give similar dates.
Thanks for the link JJB.
RE: Last frosts - Veggie - 31-03-2021
I'd forgotten that site!! Thanks for the refresher. JJB,
I'm in Zone 8, outside Cardiff, last frost March 31st/today.
I'll wait until after the Artic Easter this weekend before I'm going to risk it!!Just to upset JJB - the courgettes in the GH look OK and the toms have been out there for a few weeks. I do wrap them up at night, tuck them in and read them a story - i draw the line at cocoa though.

I’m also in zone 8. I’m not convinced
RE: Last frosts - Eyren - 31-03-2021
I'm Zone 10 (mid-April), which is a reasonable average based on recent experience - we generally don't get any serious frost after the end of March, but sometimes we get a cold snap as late as mid-May, so I keep a sharp eye on the weather forecast!
RE: Last frosts - Scarlet - 31-03-2021
Mines March 31st....which is total cod's for me! I alsways get a super cold spot in May. Though I will be putting lots more out in the GH due to my new warm bench
RE: Last frosts - Jimny14 - 31-03-2021
Sounds about right for me. Which reminds me, must plant my first earlies this weekend.
RE: Last frosts - doublyjonah - 31-03-2021
Zone 11, which would put my last frost date a few weeks earlier than mid May, the date given by garden focused.

Consider me upset. Perhaps you could grow the cocoa instead.
RE: Last frosts - JJB - 31-03-2021
I'm Zone 11 21st - 30th April
Garden focused says last week in April, so they tally, but we all know about averages, they never tell us about the extremes
