Unity Village, MO: when does the frost end?

Zone 6b

The last spring frost here typically falls around 04/07, about 222 days from today. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 10/29, roughly 202 days after the last spring frost.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Unity Village in Zone 6b (-5 to 0°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 9 weeks until Unity Village's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

Why 04/07 isn't a guarantee

04/07 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 03/21 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/24 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
