Turon, KS 67583 Frost Dates
Turon, KS: when does the frost end?
Around 04/20 is the usual last spring frost, about 235 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 10/20, roughly 183 days after the last spring frost.

Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 8 weeks until Turon'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
04/20 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 04/06 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 05/02 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
