Zone 7b

Around 04/10 is the usual last spring frost, about 225 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/28, about 200 frost-free days later.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Yanceyville 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

Zone 7b around Yanceyville has about 9 weeks left before the first fall frost — that's the usual window to get a cold frame up if you want to keep harvesting past it.

Why 04/10 isn't a guarantee

04/10 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/26 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 05/01 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
