St. Lucie Village, FL: when does the frost end?

Zone 10a (30 to 35°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 St. Lucie Village, not a forecast for this year.
Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 20 weeks until St. Lucie Village's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.
Why 01/24 isn't a guarantee
01/24 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 02/21 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
