Argyle, GA 31550 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Argyle, GA?

Zone 9a

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 03/11, roughly 195 days out. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/17, about 253 frost-free days later.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Argyle in Zone 9a (20 to 25°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

What to do before the first frost

About 12 weeks of growing season left in Argyle before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

How much risk comes with planting early here

03/11 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 02/17 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/03 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
