Determine Freeze/Frost Dates for Your Area It is most important when planning your garden to learn when each vegetable should be planted. For example, peas and spinach require cool spring weather, whereas tomatoes cannot be put out until it is certain that there will be no more frost. It is important to know the approximate date of the last frost for your area, as many plants, especially small seedlings, will not survive if planted before the last frost For those plants that have longer growing seasons, it may make sense to start them indoors, and transplant outside once all danger of frost has past. Maps showing the plant hardiness zones are widely available across the internet. The region is divided up into zone based on the average annual temperature, the coldest zones have the lower numbers. Some green houses and nurseries will specify plant cold-hardiness based on these zones. NOAA has also published some detailed information on the subject, for those who are interested in more specific information.
