Raymondville, MO: when does the frost end?

Zone 7a

Around 04/10 is the usual last spring frost, about 225 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 10/23, roughly 194 days after the last spring frost.

Zone 7a (0 to 5°F average annual minimum) comes from the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map; the frost dates above are the 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting NOAA station for Raymondville, not a forecast for this year.

Stretching the season past the first frost

With roughly 8 weeks until Raymondville'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
