Bellevue, OH: when does the frost end?

Zone 6a

Around 04/10 is the usual last spring frost, about 225 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/05, roughly 209 days after the last spring frost.

Bellevue sits in USDA Zone 6a (-10 to -5°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.

Stretching the season past the first frost

With roughly 10 weeks until Bellevue's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

Why 04/10 isn't a guarantee

04/10 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 03/31 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/23 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
