Lookeba, OK: when does the frost end?

Zone 7b

Around 04/06 is the usual last spring frost, about 221 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 10/31, roughly 206 days after the last spring frost.

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 Lookeba, not a forecast for this year.

Stretching the season past the first frost

With roughly 9 weeks until Lookeba's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

The actual range around Lookeba's last frost
