Remember what average means! —some years it happens earlier and some years it occurs a lot later! If the outdoor temperature feels chilly, look for a local weather forecast so you’ll know if your tender young plants need some protection.Also... remember... Many young fl owers and vegetable plantsneed warm growing conditions. Just avoiding frost may not be enough to keep them thriving! Most long-time gardeners will tell you not to rush the season— hold off planting tender plants until May 31st. (Even then, temperatures can dip enough to shock plants like impatiens, fuschias, beans, squash, basil, eggplant and peppers.)<pagedata>14:0.848086894:0.972979784:0.988488972:0.0270202029</pagedata>
