Argyle, GA: when does the frost end?

Zone 9a

Around 03/11 is the usual last spring frost, about 195 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/17, roughly 253 days after the last spring frost.

Zone 9a (20 to 25°F average annual minimum) comes from the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map; the frost dates above are the 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting NOAA station for Argyle, not a forecast for this year.

Stretching the season past the first frost

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

The actual range around Argyle's last frost

03/11 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 02/17 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/03 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
