Aragon, GA 30173 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Aragon, GA?

Zone 8a

Around 04/01 is the usual last spring frost, about 216 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/03, about 217 frost-free days later.

Zone 8a (10 to 15°F average annual minimum) comes from the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map; the frost dates above are the 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting NOAA station for Aragon, not a forecast for this year.

What to do before the first frost

About 10 weeks of growing season left in Aragon before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 04/01 isn't a guarantee

04/01 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/13 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/19 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
