30269, near Peachtree City, GA: the frost window

Zone 8a

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 03/26, roughly 210 days out. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/06, roughly 226 days after the last spring frost.

Peachtree City sits in USDA Zone 8a (10 to 15°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.

Stretching the season past the first frost

Peachtree City's growing season runs out in roughly 10 weeks — a cold frame or greenhouse kit is the usual way to keep cool-weather crops going past the first frost.

Why 03/26 isn't a guarantee

03/26 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 03/04 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/13 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
