Blevins, AR: when does the frost end?

Zone 8a

Around 03/26 is the usual last spring frost, about 210 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/06, roughly 226 days after the last spring frost.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Blevins in Zone 8a (10 to 15°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 10 weeks until Blevins's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

The actual range around Blevins's last frost
