What these dates mean in Arkansas
Planting usually runs about 89 days, from Feb 1 to Apr 30.
That start date is about 75 days earlier than the middle of the 10 places in this data set that report beets planting dates (Apr 17).
Frost-date caveat: these are published ranges for Arkansas. A northern or high-elevation site will run later than a southern or low one, and a cold wet spring can push planting past the window. Dates are statewide; adjust for climate zone within Arkansas; frost dates and local conditions vary. Check your last spring frost and soil temperature, and confirm with your county extension office.
