Deatsville, AL: when does the frost end?

Zone 8b

Around 03/24 is the usual last spring frost, about 208 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/10, roughly 233 days after the last spring frost.

Zone 8b (15 to 20°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 Deatsville, not a forecast for this year.

Stretching the season past the first frost

With roughly 11 weeks until Deatsville's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

The actual range around Deatsville's last frost
