Bayonne, NJ: when does the frost end?

Zone 7b

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Bayonne in Zone 7b (5 to 10°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

The actual range around Bayonne's last frost

04/02 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 03/20 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/15 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
