We maintain and publish date and growing season information based on the first and last light frosts (-1C) and the first and last heavy frost (-3C) of each season.
\nThis is the latest update showing the 2018 growing season.
\nIt was much shorter than average this year due to late light frosts into June, only the 2nd time in our recorded history, and early light frosts in September.
\nThe same for the heavy plant killing frosts, both later in the spring and earlier in the fall, than the avergage.<\/p>\n
