This is a great discussion. What is the minimum temperature to set out your plants then? I read somewhere it's about 55, but then it won't work as the following temperature data suggests, too short of a growing season before it gets too hot. Could anyone make a suggestion as when to start the seedlings and when to plant them out?
I'm doing this research for my mom. She lives in Shandong Prov in China, where average temperature is like this:
March 1- 15, high 56 low 35 Mar 16-30, high 63 low 41
Apr 1-15, high 69 low 47 Apr 15-30 high 74 low 52
May: first week:54 (low)-76(high) ; 2nd week: 57-79 3rd week 59-81 4th week 62-84
June: 1st week 64-86 2nd week:67-88 3rd week 68-89 4th week 71-89
July: 1st week 72-89 2nd week 73-89 3rd week 73-89 4th week73-89
August: 72-90 for the month
Sept 1-15 71-87
I think the past summer was hotter than the above data indicates.
Any suggestions ? Thanks.
