Hawkins, TX: when does the frost end?

How much risk comes with planting early here
03/26 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 03/04 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/16 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
