I have taken soil temps for many years. The old suggestion was 7 A M, 4 " down, 3 mornings in a row. No one would do that now. I finally decided, if the ground is dry enough, it is usually warm enough.
We have seen good temps, 55 degrees 4 " down, and a cold rain take 20 degrees off the temp overnight.
