How we write
Gardening advice depends on where you live. Whenever timing matters, we point you to your USDA Plant Hardiness Zone and your local frost dates rather than giving one-size-fits-all dates. We check our guidance against university extension services and other reliable horticultural sources, and we update articles when better information becomes available.
