Hi all,
I read that the average last frost date for my area (Union Co, NJ) was about April 15. Does anyone know how much variation there is in the actual date, or if this date is right.
Thanks,
Nick

Best source is your local Cooperative Extension office. They have the local dates. It can vary quite a bit. The last frost date can be weeks earlier than the average and sometimes much later.

Hi Nick,
I'm fairly close to your area and the unofficial date I've always used is anytime after Mothers Day (May 10th this year) especially for tender plants.
