Muldraugh, KY 40122 Frost Dates
When can you plant in Muldraugh, KY?
Around 04/19 is the usual last spring frost, about 234 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/24, about 186 frost-free days later.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Muldraugh in Zone 7a (0 to 5°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 8 weeks of growing season left in Muldraugh before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.
Why 04/19 isn't a guarantee
04/19 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 04/04 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 05/02 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
