Glendora, MS 38944 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Glendora, MS?

Zone 8b

Around 03/07 is the usual last spring frost, about 191 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/17, about 254 frost-free days later.

Glendora sits in USDA Zone 8b (15 to 20°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 12 weeks of growing season left in Glendora before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 03/07 isn't a guarantee

03/07 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 02/15 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 03/27 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
