Shiloh, NJ 08353 Frost Dates
When can you plant in Shiloh, NJ?
Around 04/11 is the usual last spring frost, about 226 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/03, about 206 frost-free days later.
Shiloh sits in USDA Zone 7b (5 to 10°F average annual minimum). The dates above are NOAA's 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting station, a 30-year average, not a forecast.

Why 04/11 isn't a guarantee
04/11 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/29 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/27 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
