Bryant, IN: when does the frost end?

Zone 6a

The last spring frost here typically falls around 04/28, about 243 days from today. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 10/15, roughly 171 days after the last spring frost.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Bryant in Zone 6a (-10 to -5°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

Stretching the season past the first frost

With roughly 7 weeks until Bryant's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

How much risk comes with planting early here

04/28 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 04/13 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 05/14 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.

Bryant against the rest of the dataset
