Will Tennessee Soil Hold an Asparagus Bed for Fifteen Years?
Yes, in most cases, but the answer hinges entirely on drainage, not on the state soil chart.
Home & garden, state by state
Yes, in most cases, but the answer hinges entirely on drainage, not on the state soil chart.
Plant asparagus crowns in Tennessee in early spring, once the soil has dried out enough to work and the ground has warmed past that last hard freeze.
Yes, sweet corn can ripen across South Dakota, but the calendar gives less room than most gardeners assume.
Sweet corn goes into South Dakota soil once the ground itself, not the calendar, hits 60°F, and that point arrives well after the last spring frost.
Sow autumn spinach in South Dakota once the soil has cooled below 80°F, roughly 50 to 75 days before your target harvest date.
Yes. Spinach bolts early almost everywhere in South Dakota, and it has less to do with a hot afternoon than with the calendar itself.
Yes, in most of South Dakota, but the state’s own soil survey data draws a line: an asparagus bed only asks for drainage, and not every acre in the state…
Crowns go into South Dakota ground in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked, roughly bracketing the state’s late-April to early-May frost window.
Yes, sweet corn ripens across most of South Carolina. The state’s frost-free stretch runs from late February or early March clear through late November…
South Carolina gardeners can start sweet corn once soil reaches 60°F, a threshold that lands weeks after the last frost, not on it.
