Here's what I think... the question pretty much comes down to which full moon to go by. In my case, in zone 5a (or probably 4b, actually), the last full moon in May would probably be a good guideline (I always wait until early June to plant tomatoes and peppers outside). But in Brenden's zone 6b... maybe the last full moon in April would be the one to go by. It really would be interesting to keep a detailed log of the temperature fluctuations during the moon phases Smiling
