One of the best tools that you have as a gardener to help figure out your gardening schedule is the USDA zone info. The zone information's most crucial data reveals the average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.
To determine the appropriate planting time for celery, you can utilize the USDA zone information for the 13b region.
