Trenton, OH 45067 Frost Dates

45067, near Trenton, OH: the frost window

Zone 6b

Around 04/22 is the usual last spring frost, about 237 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 10/18, roughly 178 days after the last spring frost.

Zone 6b (-5 to 0°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 Trenton, not a forecast for this year.

Stretching the season past the first frost

Trenton's growing season runs out in roughly 7 weeks — a cold frame or greenhouse kit is the usual way to keep cool-weather crops going past the first frost.

Why 04/22 isn't a guarantee

04/22 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 04/06 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 05/10 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
