Reeder, ND: when does the frost end?
Around 05/24 is the usual last spring frost, about 269 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 09/18, roughly 115 days after the last spring frost.

How much risk comes with planting early here
05/24 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 05/11 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 06/10 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
