When can you plant in Norwood, GA?
The last spring frost here typically falls around 03/29, about 213 days from today. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/07, about 225 frost-free days later.
Norwood sits in USDA Zone 8b (15 to 20°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.
What to do before the first frost
About 10 weeks of growing season left in Norwood before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.
Why 03/29 isn't a guarantee
03/29 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/08 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/14 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
