It's going to be windy and chilly on Sunday (4/25). I've seen it snow on Mother's day and that's the earliest that I would consider planting. In Chicago, at least. Which is why lots of Chicago houses have a sun porch on them. That way you can use it as a green house until it's time to plant. Oh no! It’s going to be windy and chilly on Sunday (4/25).

The NWS tracks this kind of thing and they say that on average it happens around the first week in May. If you plant anything now you need to be ready to protect them for the next 3-4 weeks. If you want to be 90% positive the last frost has happened you need to wait until the end of May. I can't wait that long! The weather this coming weekend should be awesome though so use the weekend to get things started...but maybe hold off on the less hardy seeds. They are forecasting rain thur/fri so pray that it doesn't hold off! We want the rain earlier in the week! :) gardening is such a risky business :) I’m being a bit optimistic yes.
