Local old-time residents abide by May 15th - or even Memorial day as the earliest to safely plant or set out sensitive flowers or vegetables due to the fluctuating temps. Temperature spikes in April and early May can often be followed by unexpected frosts or freezes.
Anyone who'd like to learn more - there's a local garden club which has been in existence for many years. Its members are willing to talk about their experiences and share their time tested experiences.
