Crawfordville, GA: when does the frost end?

Zone 8b

Around 03/22 is the usual last spring frost, about 206 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/13, roughly 237 days after the last spring frost.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Crawfordville in Zone 8b (15 to 20°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 11 weeks until Crawfordville's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

How much risk comes with planting early here

03/22 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 02/28 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/06 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
