Frost dates for Gans, OK, ZIP 74936

Zone 7b

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 03/25, roughly 209 days out. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/06, about 224 frost-free days later.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Gans in Zone 7b (5 to 10°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

Zone 7b around Gans has about 10 weeks left before the first fall frost — that's the usual window to get a cold frame up if you want to keep harvesting past it.

Why 03/25 isn't a guarantee

03/25 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/04 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/11 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
