Thanks Gabz. I picked this up the other day, it's a special extra issue from Fine Gardening mag. Actually, I don't think I'd ever heard of FG.

The most important factor in determining when to plant a certain type of vegetable in your garden is the “Last Freeze Date” in the spring for your area...

Thanks for the information. Always appreciate good information.
Do not worry about the self appointed anti blog pimp pimps. But I would recommend that you ping JustaDumbBlonde, she maintains the gardening list and can help get the info out.
No, you do not have to wait until Friday to post information interesting to the Garden Group. Thanks for posting.
Well, it looks like it will be safe to put the garden in between May 11 and May 29 and to lay down weed control granules in the flower gardens in early May. Now, I already knoew that, but I’m grateful for the reminder. Thanks.
How funny. I was just going through some seed packets and was thinking I better get these guys going in the window or I’ll miss out entirely come April!
Well find another thread, its your right to be be wrong . some of us like being pinged for we don't have the time to search all these "blogs"
No need to click on the link. That information is readily available online.
Wow, they’re showing a good 6 weeks earlier for the last freeze in Central Texas. Yes, it warms up in March but it seems there’s always a night or two of freezing temps right before tax day. I count tax day and Halloween as last and first freezes.
Thanks, very useful.
Nobody on the weekly gardening thread has starch in their shorts.
You are very welcome there.

We farm & I am a gardener. Useful information.
Terrific list. Thanks!

When I was in the wood business, I figured, we’d have one more freeze before Easter. After Easter, we did not sell anymore firewood. I was also told by a tomatoe grower to put out the tomatoe plants when the Mesquite trees began to bud out.
Right, riiiiggghhht. Usually FG = P(15)-3.5, for good time....
All I know for sure is I've seen it 65 degrees in January and 7" of snow on the 4th of July.
Last year the snowpack was over 200%. This year, no snow, ya know?
Roll the dice.
Thanks for posting—I was actually looking for this info today :)
FG = Fine Gardening. :’)
It’s been one of my favorite winters so far. Could have done without that freezing rainstorm a week or so ago, but there’s no trace of it now.
