Get a head start on gardening with our Planting Calendar , customized to your location! Skip to main content. You are here Gardening » Frost Dates Calculator. See Frost Dates for Your Location. For example, if the last frost in your garden is late spring, you will be able to plant out tomato plants a week or so later.
An example of such a shrub is Cistus. So it is easily possible that your garden is ideal for growing annual tomatoes but is not suitable for growing shrubs which are only partially frost hardy. When using the map above be aware that the last frost date can vary quite significantly even in the same town.
Factors which can affect the last frost date include slopes and hills, nearby presence of large bodies of water and others. The frost dates associated with each town above are generally accurate in six out of seven years but occasionally a late frost can catch even the experts out.
However what is is very clear is that different parts of the UK do have very different last frost dates, a fact which most gardening websites and books simply ignore. This site attempts to address this problem by asking you where you live and then adjusting all dates to match the likely weather conditions in your area.
The worst of the weather is predicted to arrive around the middle of November and could again mean nightmare travelling conditions on the roads and chaos at British airports.
Our guess is that temperatures for early to mid January will be about normal - but then we are a bit cynical about these things. January 12th - the Daily Mail publishes this headline: 'There's snow in Fife - quick, cancel flights at Heathrow! January 13th - the snow failed to arrive except for a few flurries in Northern areas. The surpise was that the forecast on the 8th totally misread some really bad weather. Floods in the east of England which led to several villages in the area being evacuated.
Even the floods did not materialise sufficiently to cause any problems.

As long as your soil has thawed out enough to dig in, you can sow most cool-season vegetables right in the garden rather than starting them indoors first. These include all those leafy greens you know you should eat , like Swiss chard, kale, spinach, and pak choi.
Radishes also grow quickly in spring and can tolerate frost well. Certain annual flowers like pansies and snapdragons that often appear at garden centers very early in the spring also can take some freezing temperatures and keep on blooming. Bare-root trees especially fruit trees hardy in your area can be planted before your last frost date, too. Because they haven't started to actively grow new leaves yet, they won't be harmed by a little below-freezing weather. By Charlotte Germane Updated February 10, Save Pin FB More.
