Freeport, NY 11569 Frost Dates
When can you plant in Freeport, NY?
Around 04/07 is the usual last spring frost, about 222 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/08, about 212 frost-free days later.
Freeport 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.
What to do before the first frost
About 10 weeks of growing season left in Freeport before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.
Why 04/07 isn't a guarantee
04/07 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/24 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/26 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
