When can you plant in Martha, OK?

Zone 7b

Around 04/10 is the usual last spring frost, about 225 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/29, about 201 frost-free days later.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Martha in Zone 7b (5 to 10°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

The actual range around Martha's last frost
