Frost is rare here

Frost is rare in this area, so we show no frost dates.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.

@shiny I couldn't say no. I built a whole janky mesh arch for cucumber seedlings to rampage on that will only barely hold them. But then I saw these three survivors and thought I bet they love to vine all over

We'll see how many make it. If nothing else, it'll be a peaceful passing.
