Boise City, OK 73933 Frost Dates

73933, near Boise City, OK: the frost window

Zone 6b

Around 04/29 is the usual last spring frost, about 244 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 10/13, roughly 166 days after the last spring frost.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Boise City in Zone 6b (-5 to 0°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

Boise City's growing season runs out in roughly 7 weeks — a cold frame or greenhouse kit is the usual way to keep cool-weather crops going past the first frost.

Why 04/29 isn't a guarantee

04/29 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 04/14 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 05/12 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
