==== Your “safe” outdoor planting window is later than most of Colorado. Example nearby SLV station data shows an average last spring frost around June 5 (San Luis station).

Blanca frost-date tools also show early fall frosts can come fast (often early September for 32°F). Garden.org<ref>{{cite web|title=Garden.org|url=https://garden.org/apps/frost-dates/Blanca%2C%2BCO/|publisher=garden.org|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>

What that means for you:
* Plant outside: late May → mid-June is usually the sweet spot (after hard frosts are done).
* Fall planting: doable, but only if you can give it enough time to root before freezes (in SLV that window can be tight).
