When can you plant in Cleveland, TX?
The last spring frost here typically falls around 03/11, about 195 days from today. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/19, about 253 frost-free days later.
Cleveland sits in USDA Zone 9a (20 to 25°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 03/11 isn't a guarantee
03/11 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 02/14 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.
