I've searched all sorts of stuff, and found that my area (near Austin, TX) has an average last FREEZE date of either Feb 24th or March 1 (depending on which recording site). How does that relate to last FROST?
Last year, I got a late start and didn't get my tomatos in until late April. As a result, I missed a lot of the growing season--it starts hitting 90 here in mid to late April!
I'm determined not to make that mistake again this year. My seeds are started, my garden has been turned the first time, and I'm waiting to make the first seedling transplant. Based on the freeze date, I could plant in as little as a month. Since I didn't start the seeds quite early enough to do that, I'm thinking about planting tomatoes in 5 or six weeks (depending on soil condition). That would put me 1-2 weeks past the last freeze date. My plan is to plant peppers (mostly sweets) about two weeks later. What do you think?
