Noble, OK: when does the frost end?

Zone 7b

Around 03/31 is the usual last spring frost, about 215 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/05, roughly 219 days after the last spring frost.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Noble in Zone 7b (5 to 10°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 Noble's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

The actual range around Noble's last frost

03/31 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 03/12 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/17 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
