Argyle, TX: when does the frost end?

Zone 8b

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 03/24, roughly 208 days out. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/07, roughly 227 days after the last spring frost.

Zone 8b (15 to 20°F average annual minimum) comes from the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map; the frost dates above are the 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting NOAA station for Argyle, not a forecast for this year.

Stretching the season past the first frost

With roughly 10 weeks until Argyle'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

03/24 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 03/03 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/17 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
