Durant, OK: when does the frost end?
The last spring frost here typically falls around 03/19, about 203 days from today. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/12, roughly 237 days after the last spring frost.
Durant sits in USDA Zone 8a (10 to 15°F average annual minimum). The dates above are NOAA's 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting station, a 30-year average, not a forecast.
Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 11 weeks until Durant's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.
Why 03/19 isn't a guarantee
03/19 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 03/01 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/07 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
