Frost dates for New Point, IN, ZIP 47225
Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 04/15, roughly 230 days out. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/26, about 194 frost-free days later.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts New Point in Zone 6a (-10 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
Zone 6a around New Point has about 8 weeks left before the first fall frost — that's the usual window to get a cold frame up if you want to keep harvesting past it.
Why 04/15 isn't a guarantee
04/15 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/31 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.
