The average last freeze for Jackson is March 15th. Last year our last freeze was on March 6th and in 2006 the last freeze was on March 26th. That's why it is an average. Depending on weather conditions the freeze can be before or after the 15th. In the end it all averages out to about March 15th. I mention all this since the low was 32 in Jackson early this morning. This will probably be our last freeze of the spring. My typical planting rule for early spring. THE FIRST WEEKEND OF APRIL. You have to remember it is not enough just to have warmer air. Soil temperatures need to warm so the plant roots can survive. Cold, cool and wet soil conditions can create root rot and destroy your tender plant lings. While you may be tempted with the great spring weather. Wait just a little longer!
