When can you plant in North Perry, OH?

Zone 7a

Around 04/26 is the usual last spring frost, about 241 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/31, about 184 frost-free days later.

Zone 7a (0 to 5°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 North Perry, not a forecast for this year.

About 9 weeks of growing season left in North Perry 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

04/26 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 04/11 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 05/14 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
