With roughly 2 weeks until Barton's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.
How much risk comes with planting early here
06/01 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 05/19 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 06/15 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
