Almont, ND: when does the frost end?

Zone 4a

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Almont in Zone 4a (-30 to -25°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 3 weeks until Almont's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.
