Re: Seed Starting Date Calculator
In my experience. Risalpur/Mardan/Peshawar and Islamabad Frost Dates
First Frost 25 December. Sometimes delayed till 31 December.
Last Frost 31 January. However sometime occasional frost for one or two day in first decade of February also.
For reference you can take 31 January.

December 15th - January 31st
