As the weather gets warmer and the days get longer, we get anxious to start gardening When to plant our seedlings is an excellent question, and one that depends on a few factors: type of plant, last frost date (or weather), size of seedlings, and proper hardening-off of seedlings

One important thing to consider before planting is to understand what type of plant you want to grow Some plants are cold hardy and will tolerate colder weather Potatoes, lettuce, onions, kale, broccoli, radishes, will all take a bit of cold and are usually planted first, before the last frost date
