Beasley, TX: when does the frost end?

Zone 9a

Around 02/15 is the usual last spring frost, about 171 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 12/06, roughly 297 days after the last spring frost.

Zone 9a (20 to 25°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 Beasley, not a forecast for this year.

Stretching the season past the first frost

With roughly 14 weeks until Beasley's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

The actual range around Beasley's last frost

02/15 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 01/13 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.
