FROM TODAY'S PRINT EDITIONS:
Baltimore, you’ve made it. Today is the average last frost date for the city. It’s an average; we could still get, well, frosted. But it’s the first of the average last-frost dates for Maryland as warmer weather invades the state. Annapolis follows on the 23rd, according to NOAA via the Victory Seed Co., then Cambridge on the 26th, Hagerstown on May 3 and Pocomoke on May 8. Gardeners in chilly Oakland, out in Garrett County, bide their time until June 5.
