Faulkner County Seed Library

It's easy to get excited about spring planting, but remember that data shows our last freeze in Faulkner County usually occurs between April 1 and April 15. While some plants are cold tolerant and can handle light frost, many of our warm season vegetable and garden plants cannot handle any temperatures below 32 degrees F and some may be stunted by temperatures below 40 degrees F. Gardeners may want to wait until after April 15 to plant these warm season plants or be prepared to cover them temporarily during cold periods.

Don't forget to save your seeds and return some to the FCSL so that we can recheck them out next year.
