Notes

They don't like the frost so the plant is stunted. Will need to transplant to a bigger pot and put frost sock on it to get a better crop next year.

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.
