Method
Frost-relative window
Rule & reconciliation
Start seeds indoors
10–8 weeks before the median last spring freeze
Sow 4–6 weeks before the set-out window opens (UNH 4–6 weeks; Missouri G6570 6–8 weeks).
Transplant outdoors
4–2 weeks before the median last spring freeze
UNH: set out 2–4 weeks before the last frost; Purdue's hardy class allows 4–6 weeks before. The later UNH range is used.
Variety assumption: A long-season crop (about 90–110 days from transplant); sprouts sweeten after light fall frosts.
Hardiness classes: hardy = plant 4-6 wk before last spring frost; semi-hardy = 2-4 wk before; tender = after average last frost; very tender = at least 2 wk after. Table 2: fall planting at least 4-8 wk before first fall frost.
