Magnolia, TX: when does the frost end?
The last spring frost here typically falls around 02/19, about 175 days from today. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 12/03, roughly 290 days after the last spring frost.

With roughly 14 weeks until Magnolia'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
02/19 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 01/21 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 03/15 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
