What these dates mean in Southern Illinois
Transplanting usually runs about 135 days, from Mar 18 to Jul 30.
That start date is about 23 days earlier than the middle of the 3 places in this data set that report cabbage transplanting dates (Apr 10).
Frost-date caveat: these are published ranges for Southern Illinois. 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. Planting dates are a general guide; frost dates and local conditions vary. Check your last spring frost and soil temperature, and confirm with your county extension office.
