Venus, TX 76084 Frost Dates
When can you plant in Venus, TX?
Around 03/16 is the usual last spring frost, about 200 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/16, about 245 frost-free days later.
Venus 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.
What to do before the first frost

Why 03/16 isn't a guarantee
03/16 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 02/26 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/03 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
