Reddick, FL 32634 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Reddick, FL?

Zone 9a

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 03/01, roughly 185 days out. The first fall frost typically arrives around 12/07, about 284 frost-free days later.

Reddick 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 14 weeks of growing season left in Reddick before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 03/01 isn't a guarantee

03/01 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 01/29 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 03/22 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
