Eastborough, KS 67208 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Eastborough, KS?

Zone 7a

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 04/10, roughly 225 days out. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/27, about 198 frost-free days later.

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 Eastborough, not a forecast for this year.

What to do before the first frost

About 9 weeks of growing season left in Eastborough before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 04/10 isn't a guarantee

04/10 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/25 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/27 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
