What to do before the first frost
About 10 weeks of growing season left in Berry before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.
Why 03/20 isn't a guarantee
03/20 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 02/27 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/09 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
