One of the first steps you take when you are figuring out 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 Cape Coral you can figure out when you can plant baby blue eyes by using the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Baby Blue Eyes

Frost tolerance for baby blue eyes:	Tolerant of some frost.
When to plant:	Up to 5 weeks before last frost.

Since baby blue eyes do well in moderate cold you can plant them a little earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant baby blue eyes in Cape Coral is January. However, you really should wait until February if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant baby blue eyes and expect a good harvest is probably October. Any later than that and your baby blue eyes may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your baby blue eyes indoors is a great way to get them started a little bit earlier.

Last Frost Date

In Cape Coral the average date of last frost happens on January 31. In the coldest months of winter you should expect an average low temperature of 30°F.

Since the USDA zone info for Cape Coral is not always accurate the actual date of last frost is different every year. Half of the time in Cape Coral you get a frost after January 31 so always be ready to cover your baby blue eyes in the event of a late frost.
