Beverly, NJ: when does the frost end?

Zone 7b

With roughly 9 weeks until Beverly's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

The actual range around Beverly's last frost

04/15 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 04/01 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/29 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
