Coleman, TX 76834 Frost Dates
Coleman, TX: when does the frost end?
The last spring frost here typically falls around 03/14, about 198 days from today. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/20, roughly 249 days after the last spring frost.
Zone 8a (10 to 15°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 Coleman, not a forecast for this year.
Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 12 weeks until Coleman's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.
Why 03/14 isn't a guarantee
03/14 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 02/25 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/02 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
