The University of Georgia maintains a highly useful weather site that records current and historical air temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, solar radiation, wind speed, wind direction, soil temperature at 2-, 4-, and 8-inch depths, atmospheric pressure, and soil moisture.
Tonight I used it because the seed packet for my Banana Pink Jumbo winter squash says the seeds can be planted when the soil temperature reaches 60 degrees. Guess what the average soil temperature was in Savannah last week? 60 degrees! I don't know what a Banana Pink Jumbo winter squash will taste like, but at least I know it's okay to plant it now.
