With roughly 14 weeks until Beaumont'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
02/18 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 01/20 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 03/15 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
