Warm Season Crops

Plant after last frost (April 25 - May 15)

These heat-loving crops thrive when soil temps reach 60°F+ and frost danger has passed


What Grows Well

Warm season crops are frost-sensitive and need temperatures between 65-95°F. Plant too early and they'll stall or die from frost.

Key Strategies: - 🌱 Wait for soil warmth: Use soil thermometer (60°F minimum) - ☀️ Full sun required: 8+ hours direct sunlight - 🍅 Start indoors: Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant (6-8 weeks before last frost) - 🫘 Direct sow: Beans, squash, cucumbers (after soil warms) - 💧 Consistent watering: Critical during fruit set
