 So note that there is still plenty of time to plant a wide variety of things. So before you choose what to plant, it's important to look up the average first frost date for your area and figure out how many days you have until a frost. So keep in mind that vegetables we consider to be frost tolerant may be tolerant to cold weather in the spring when they are small, but the parts of the vegetables we eat may be more sensitive to the cold during fall frost.
