Snow is one thing, but how do you know when the last "killing frost" is? I've never planted seeds for gardens before and this year we have a few packs, but we don't really know when to gauge the last killing frost. We don't even know how severe a killing frost is compared to a regular frost.
starface Consult your local nursery. I bet your last freeze is coming up. Of course, you could start your seeds in little pots indoors.
