Worth noticing
Frost estimates use NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals from a nearby station with a similar climate, and the site identifies them as averages.

Field notes

Visitors can inspect an example Zone 7a year, with the last frost shown as April 15 and the first frost as October 25; the page says these are averages based on NOAA 1991–2020 normals from a nearby station. The planner preview divides a 4 × 2 ft bed into squares, gives per-square plant counts and timing, and shows companion plants. The site says ZIP data stays on the visitor’s device.
