On this week’s Good Growing podcast Chris and Ken sit down to go through our piles of early spring gardening questions about frost dates, seed starting, and more. Plus, we warn our listeners and viewers to be careful when getting out into the garden too soon!

Remembering spring snow in April 2022 3:39 - What the difference between frost free and average last frost dates? 7:08 – Are Farmer's Almanac dates good to go by or not? 8:55 - Does the planting date differ depending on whether you plant seeds or a small plant? 10:49 - When starting seeds indoors, should grow lights be turned on as soon as the seeds are planted or not until they sprout?
