And no need to worry if snow is still falling in your region and the warmth of spring feels far, far away. Each kit comes with a studied timeline of the last frost dates in your area, so your plants will arrive just in time for the spring growing season. Your plants won’t ship until the last frost has passed in your zip code—which is such an innovative way to plan ahead for the spring growing season.
