Geary, OK 73040 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Geary, OK?

Zone 7b

Around 04/14 is the usual last spring frost, about 229 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/27, about 194 frost-free days later.

Geary sits in USDA Zone 7b (5 to 10°F average annual minimum). The dates above are NOAA's 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting station, a 30-year average, not a forecast.

What to do before the first frost

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

Why 04/14 isn't a guarantee

04/14 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/30 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/29 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
