Episode Show Notes / Description

Host Richard Hentschel talks about the differences in what we call the average frost free date and absolute frost free date and what that means to a gardener. Some plantings can start as early as 4-6 weeks ahead or our average frost free date and others have to wait until 2-3 weeks after.
