Texhoma, OK 73949 Frost Dates
When can you plant in Texhoma, OK?
Around 04/18 is the usual last spring frost, about 233 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/24, about 186 frost-free days later.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Texhoma in Zone 6b (-5 to 0°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.
What to do before the first frost
About 8 weeks of growing season left in Texhoma before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.
Why 04/18 isn't a guarantee
04/18 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 04/03 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 05/03 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
