Homerville, GA 31634 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Homerville, GA?

Zone 9a

Around 03/11 is the usual last spring frost, about 195 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/17, about 253 frost-free days later.

Homerville sits in USDA Zone 9a (20 to 25°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 12 weeks of growing season left in Homerville before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 03/11 isn't a guarantee

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.
