Our conditions in North Texas are not very different than yours in Muskogee. You may get one or two more late frosts than me. I will plant out on March 1 and probably need to protect them a couple of nights before April 1. For me, any plantings after April 1 for the spring garden is a waste. We were already hitting daytime highs of 90+ in mid May last year. I'm hoping my spring plantings will reveal some good varieties that perform through the heat of summer and into fall.

I checked the map and I was wrong. In Muskogee, you are North of I-40. Thats a pretty good distance North of me and I can understand why the later plantings work for you.
