Wright City, OK: when does the frost end?
The last spring frost here typically falls around 04/02, about 217 days from today. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/01, roughly 212 days after the last spring frost.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Wright City in Zone 8a (10 to 15°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
With roughly 9 weeks until Wright City's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.
Why 04/02 isn't a guarantee
04/02 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 03/14 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.
