One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us figure out your gardening schedule is the 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 Dacula you can figure out when it's a good idea to plant celery by using the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Celery

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

Celery are barely cold tolerant which tells us that you can start planting them slightly earlier than more sensitive plants.

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

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

Last Frost Date

In Dacula the average date of last frost happens on April 15. In the coldest months of winter you should expect an average low temperature of 5°F.

Since the USDA zone info for Dacula is not always accurate the actual date of last frost is different every year. Half of the time in Dacula it frosts late in the year after April 15 so be sure to be ready to cover your celery if you have a surprise late frost.
