Beedeville, AR 72014 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Beedeville, AR?

Zone 8a

The last spring frost here typically falls around 03/23, about 207 days from today. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/05, about 227 frost-free days later.

Zone 8a (10 to 15°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 Beedeville, not a forecast for this year.

What to do before the first frost

About 10 weeks of growing season left in Beedeville before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 03/23 isn't a guarantee

03/23 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/05 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/09 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
