We can't say what frost it met

The usual last frost that year was 9 Apr, and frost has come as late as 21 Apr. We have no finish date for this banana planting, so we can't say what it went through. The banana planting went in on 16 Apr, 7 days after the usual last frost (9 Apr).

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.
