What should I do after the last frost?

Wait until the danger of frost has passed before planting tender annuals and vegetables. Gradually harden off seedlings by exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week. Clean up winter debris from garden beds. Prune any winter-damaged branches. Apply a balanced fertilizer and fresh mulch to prepare beds for the growing season.

Why It Matters

Planting too early after the last frost can kill tender plants. Patience and gradual transition give your garden the best start.
