When can you plant in White Springs, FL?
Around 02/24 is the usual last spring frost, about 180 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 12/07, about 287 frost-free days later.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts White Springs 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

Why 02/24 isn't a guarantee
02/24 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 01/28 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 03/17 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
