When can you plant in Kings Point, NY?
The last spring frost here typically falls around 04/01, about 216 days from today. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/16, about 230 frost-free days later.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Kings Point in Zone 7b (5 to 10°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.
What to do before the first frost

Why 04/01 isn't a guarantee
04/01 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/19 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/12 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
