What these dates mean in Arkansas

Planting usually runs about 181 days, from Feb 1 to Jul 31.

That start date is about 59 days earlier than the middle of the 5 places in this data set that report collards planting dates (Apr 1).

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.
