Westbury, NY 11737 Frost Dates
Westbury, NY: when does the frost end?
The last spring frost here typically falls around 04/02, about 217 days from today. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/12, roughly 224 days after the last spring frost.

With roughly 11 weeks until Westbury's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.
How much risk comes with planting early here
04/02 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 03/18 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/16 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
