74047, near Liberty, OK: the frost window

Zone 7b

Around 04/01 is the usual last spring frost, about 216 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/01, roughly 212 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 Liberty, not a forecast for this year.

Stretching the season past the first frost

Liberty's growing season runs out in roughly 9 weeks — a cold frame or greenhouse kit is the usual way to keep cool-weather crops going past the first frost.

Why 04/01 isn't a guarantee

04/01 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 04/20 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
