Beckville, TX: when does the frost end?

Zone 8b

Around 03/11 is the usual last spring frost, about 195 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/17, roughly 250 days after the last spring frost.

Beckville sits in USDA Zone 8b (15 to 20°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 12 weeks until Beckville's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

How much risk comes with planting early here

03/11 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 02/20 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 03/30 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
