When can you plant in Revere, MA?

Zone 7a

Around 04/04 is the usual last spring frost, about 219 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/09, about 218 frost-free days later.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Revere in Zone 7a (0 to 5°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

How much risk comes with planting early here

04/04 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/25 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/17 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
