Usually as soon as you can easily crumble the soil. You might want to check some internet sites for "seasons" in your area. There's one on the Weather Channel -- tells the last date for "frost". The Farmer's Almanac is another great source -- not knowing whether you are in Florida or Alaska makes a difference. Keep some old cotton lightweight curtains -- or similar, in case Mother Nature goes wacky again. Do NOT use plastic. Soft, lightweight cloth only. Stay tuned to local evening newscast; they will warn you about any late frost.
