Experienced gardeners and farmers know that sowing seeds in the ground, based solely on the calendar or moon phase, while disregarding actual climate conditions, is a recipe for failure. Knowing the average frost dates for your area is a good start, but every plant species have very specific temperatures that tell them that it is safe to wake up and start growing.

The thermometer is durable, corrosion-resistant, with an aluminum casing, and is calibrated in both Celsius (-10° to 50° C) and Fahrenheit (17° to 120° F). Detailed instructions included.
