Kingdom City, MO: when does the frost end?
Around 04/10 is the usual last spring frost, about 225 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 10/24, roughly 195 days after the last spring frost.
Kingdom City sits in USDA Zone 6b (-5 to 0°F average annual minimum). The dates above are NOAA's 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting station, a 30-year average, not a forecast.
Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 8 weeks until Kingdom City's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.
Why 04/10 isn't a guarantee
04/10 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 03/26 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/30 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
