Part XV
Give a last frost date and a USDA zone. The folio returns when to start indoors, transplant, or sow outdoors — vegetables, herbs, flowers, and fruit.
Typical last frost for 6b is the date we filled in. A ridge runs colder than a hollow — treat the week as a window, not a promise. Soil temperature still rules a bean.

Vegetable · Crown
Asparagus officinalis
One-year crowns in a trench. Do not cut a spear the first spring — let the fern feed the root.
Plant crowns 1–4 weeks before last frost. Soil about 50°F before anything goes in the ground.
