How can I compare cool-season sowing with warm-season transplants?

Compare the available spring and fall windows with each variety’s maturity range. A calculated fall window is a planning estimate, and does not guarantee a harvest before frost.

The station’s spring-to-fall frost interval is 178 days in 2026. This is not a guaranteed growing season for every crop. The schedule includes only the annual crops available in the free planner.

Frost reference: Apr 23 in spring; Oct 18 in fall. MINNEAPOLIS/ST PAUL AP, MN US (USW00014922), 1991–2020 NOAA normals, 50% probability at 32°F. The selected representative station is 7.0 miles from the city reference point; it is not a measurement at your garden.

Source retrieved 2026-10-10. Calculation build: 2026-10-10 UTC. Selected planning year: 2026. Autumn buffer: 10 days. Planting and harvest windows use the same crop offsets and maturity ranges as the free planner.

50% probability frost normals are estimates, not frost-safe planting guarantees.
These are 1991–2020 normals, not live weather or current soil temperatures.
Local elevation, exposure and soil readiness can change planting decisions.
Harvest windows use crop maturity ranges and do not guarantee a fall harvest.
