Eva, AL 35621 Frost Dates
When can you plant in Eva, AL?
Around 04/05 is the usual last spring frost, about 220 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/01, about 210 frost-free days later.
Eva sits in USDA Zone 8a (10 to 15°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 9 weeks of growing season left in Eva before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.
Why 04/05 isn't a guarantee
04/05 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/16 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/22 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
