Your yard is not the USDA zone map’s single pixel

Official frost dates are averages — a late cold snap after a warm March can wipe tender starts. Safe plant-out should include your personal buffer (10–14 days after “last frost” for peppers, for example).

Elevation and urban heat islands shift dates block by block — one row per micro-site if you garden in both front and back.

Keep source so you remember whether you trusted extension data or a neighbor’s 30-year diary.
