What these dates mean in Southern Illinois
Planting usually runs about 37 days, from Apr 26 to Jun 1.
That start date is about 14 days earlier than the middle of the 3 places in this data set that report pole beans planting dates (May 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.
