The average last frost date for our area is quickly approaching. Using data from the Northeast Regional Climate Center, I put together a chart which can help assess the risk of frost after a given date. The chart shows the frequency of the last frost date since 1939. It looks like the odds are in our favor Saturday, May 2, though it still may be necessary to protect frost-sensitive plants after that date depending on the forecast. I may try planting out some tomatoes in wall-o-waters on May 2 just to see how they do.
