Eros, LA: when does the frost end?
Around 03/28 is the usual last spring frost, about 212 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/05, roughly 224 days after the last spring frost.

Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 10 weeks until Eros'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
