Protecting what you plant early
Allakaket is roughly 38 weeks out from its last frost — a row cover over young plants buys protection on the cold nights before then.
Why 05/22 isn't a guarantee
05/22 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 05/11 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 06/05 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
