Lake Park, FL: when does the frost end?
Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 01/26, roughly 151 days out. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 01/16, roughly 365 days after the last spring frost.
Lake Park sits in USDA Zone 10b (35 to 40°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.
Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 20 weeks until Lake Park's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.
Why 01/26 isn't a guarantee
01/26 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 01/01 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 02/15 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
