One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us estimate 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 Glenview you can estimate when you can plant neeps by referring to the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Neeps

Frost tolerance for neeps:	Not tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	After all chance of frost has passed.

It's probably a bad idea to plant neeps until after the last frost because they are not cold tolerant.

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

The last month that you can plant neeps and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your neeps may not have a chance to grow to maturity. Starting your neeps indoors is a great way to get them started a couple of weeks earlier.
