One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us figure out your gardening schedule is the USDA zone info. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Globe you can determine when it's a good idea to plant dichondra by using the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Dichondra

Frost tolerance for dichondra:	Tolerant of a very small amount of frost.
When to plant:	Up to 3 weeks before last frost.

Dichondra do well in some cold which means that you can plant them just a tiny bit earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant dichondra in Globe is February. However, you really should wait until March if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant dichondra and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your dichondra may not have a chance to really do well. You can get started a little bit earlier by starting your dichondra indoors.

Last Frost Date

On average the last frost when the weather gets warmer is on February 15 in Globe. It might get as low as 20°F during the coldest months of winter.

Since the USDA zone info for Globe is just an average the actual date of last frost will vary from year to year. Half of the time in Globe it frosts late in the year after February 15 so just be sure to be ready to cover your dichondra if you have a late frost.
