What these dates mean in Western Oregon
Planting usually runs about 31 days, from Mar 1 to Mar 31.
That start date is about 31 days earlier than the middle of the 7 places in this data set that report rhubarb planting dates (Apr 1).
Frost-date caveat: these are published ranges for Western Oregon. 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. Monthly advice is not applicable to all areas of Oregon; frost dates and local conditions vary. Check your last spring frost and soil temperature, and confirm with your county extension office.
