Webb, AL 36376 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Webb, AL?

Zone 9a

Around 03/05 is the usual last spring frost, about 189 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/24, about 264 frost-free days later.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Webb in Zone 9a (20 to 25°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

What to do before the first frost

About 13 weeks of growing season left in Webb before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

How much risk comes with planting early here

03/05 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 02/09 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 03/25 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
