One of the first steps you take when you are determining your gardening schedule is find your USDA Zone info. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Huron you can estimate when to plant scallions by using the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Scallions

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

Since scallions are barely cold tolerant you can plant them just a tiny bit earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant scallions in Huron 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 scallions and expect a good harvest is probably September. Any later than that and your scallions may not have a chance to really do well. If you are starting your scallions indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a little bit earlier.

Last Frost Date

On average the last frost when the weather gets warmer is on February 15 in Huron. In the coldest months of winter you can expect an average low temperature of 20°F.

Since the USDA zone info for Huron is not always accurate the actual date of last frost is different every year. Half of the time in Huron last frost occurs after February 15 so just be sure to be ready to protect your scallions if you have a late frost.
