About 14 weeks of growing season left in Belleview before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.
Why 03/01 isn't a guarantee
03/01 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 01/29 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 03/22 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
