Demorest, GA 30535 Frost Dates
Demorest, GA: when does the frost end?
Around 04/11 is the usual last spring frost, about 226 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 10/26, roughly 198 days after the last spring frost.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Demorest in Zone 8a (10 to 15°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.
Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 8 weeks until Demorest's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.
Why 04/11 isn't a guarantee
04/11 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 03/25 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 05/01 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.

Demorest's growing season runs about 198 days, ranking 18,448 of 40,283 US ZIP codes measured here, longest to shortest. Within GA, it ranks 892 of 921.
