Anadarko, OK 73005 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Anadarko, OK?

Zone 7b

Around 04/06 is the usual last spring frost, about 221 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/31, about 206 frost-free days later.

Zone 7b (5 to 10°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 Anadarko, not a forecast for this year.

What to do before the first frost

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

The actual range around Anadarko's last frost
