Toomsboro, GA: when does the frost end?

Zone 8b

Around 03/12 is the usual last spring frost, about 196 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/19, roughly 255 days after the last spring frost.

Toomsboro 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.

Stretching the season past the first frost

With roughly 12 weeks until Toomsboro's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

Why 03/12 isn't a guarantee

03/12 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 02/18 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/01 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.

Toomsboro against the rest of the dataset
