How to Measure Soil Temperature for Planting

Different veggies germinate at different temperatures.
Whether you’re planting seeds or targeting weeds, it’s important to check your soil temperature before beginning. Even the best-planned garden project can fall flat if temperatures are not appropriate for the occasion! For example, did you know that you should:
Plant spring bulbs when the soil temperature drops below 60° F.
Apply crabgrass control in spring, when soil temperatures reach 55° F for 4-5 days in a row.
Plant cool-season grass seed once soil temperatures are in the 50s F.
Give your new shrubs time to grow roots before soil temperatures fall below 40° F.
