- The "Planting Dates" column, which provides dates safe from frost, is based on historical averages; it's not an annual forecast.
- The "Moon Favorable" column gives the best planting dates based on the Moon's phases, based on an age-old practice that suggests that the Moon in its cycles affects plant growth.
