Spring planting in Hawaii
Zone 11 has no typical frost, so spring is set by warming and the rains rather than a frost date. Spring in Hawaii is the crowded season: the last of the indoor starts, the first direct sowings once the soil can be worked, and the transplants that go out after the frost date passes.
