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.

One way of estimating when it's possible to plant chervil is to examine the USDA zone info for Mebane.

Planting Calendar for Chervil

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

You can plant chervil slightly earlier in the year because they are barely cold tolerant.

The earliest that you can plant chervil in Mebane 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 chervil and expect a good harvest is probably August. Any later than that and your chervil may not have a chance to grow to maturity. Starting your chervil indoors is a great way to get them started a couple of weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

The average date of last frost is April 15 in Mebane. It might get as low as 5°F during the coldest months of winter.

Since the USDA zone info for Mebane is not always accurate the actual date of last frost changes from year to year. Half of the time in Mebane you get a frost after April 15 so just be sure to be ready to cover your chervil if you have a surprise late frost.
