Freeze isn't the only threat, its the frost. The usually frost date is March 15. That's about when I am comfortable planting my spring garden. I have been burned after that date though, but rarely.

The day after you plant probably.

If your luck is like mine on planting and camping trips.

I've always been told to wait until the pecan trees start to bud...

You can always plant a couple of plants and roll the dice, save the rest for a couple of weeks later...

Like Wick said, I always jump the gun and put a couple in.

Even if they make it, and I put some more in a month or so later. The ones I waited to plant catch the early planted ones. They just don't hardly move/grow even if they survive.

Thundered here (Monroe) on Feb. 1st so we'll have frost on April 1st. That's what my great grandma used to tell me anyway.
