What these dates mean in Central Missouri
Frost-date caveat: these are published ranges for Central Missouri. 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 recommended planting dates by region; frost dates and local conditions vary (Ozark Plateau uses north dates). Check your last spring frost and soil temperature, and confirm with your county extension office.
