When can you plant in Yeadon, PA?

Zone 7b

The last spring frost here typically falls around 04/02, about 217 days from today. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/10, about 224 frost-free days later.

Yeadon 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 11 weeks of growing season left in Yeadon before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 04/02 isn't a guarantee

04/02 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. 04/13 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
