Your seasonal context
Understand the place before the date.
The 29583 area uses a representative location near 33.992°, -79.593°. In the nearby historical climate grid, July is the warmest month on average (27.6°C), while January is the coolest (6.8°C). August has the highest mean daily precipitation (5.07 mm).
No monthly mean in this grid is below freezing. Individual cold nights can still occur; this does not establish a frost-free season. Cabbage tolerate some cold, but variety, plant age and exposure still matter. A monthly average cannot identify a safe planting day.
Light at your latitude
At 33.992° N, the length of the day changes independently of temperature. Compare the middle of three seasons when planning your garden.
Geometric daylight estimate from latitude and solar declination, rounded to 0.1 hour. This is time above a flat horizon, excluding atmospheric refraction, hills, buildings and cloud cover. It is not the direct-sun exposure of your bed. About solar-position calculations.

Distances use GeoNames representative postal coordinates, which may be estimated; they are not driving distances. Nearby areas often share one NASA POWER grid cell, so identical climate values are expected. Differences shown here describe the climate grids, not a measured difference between individual gardens.
The growing checklist
Give cabbage a considered start.
Use the spacing on the variety label rather than packing small transplants tightly together. Their eventual heads need substantially more room than the plants do at purchase.
- Choose a variety suited to your available space and compare its days to maturity with local seasonal guidance.
- Decide whether you are sowing seed or setting out a transplant; these are different starting stages.
- Check the variety’s temperature guidance. Cold tolerance does not mean every seedling survives a freeze.
- Inspect soil moisture and drainage in the actual bed. Regional rainfall averages cannot tell you whether roots need water today.

One small next step
Make a date to check your garden.
Choose your own reminder date after checking local advice. This is a personal planning prompt, not a calculated planting recommendation.
