When can you plant in Anahuac, TX?

Zone 9b

The last spring frost here typically falls around 02/18, about 174 days from today. The first fall frost typically arrives around 12/02, about 291 frost-free days later.

Anahuac sits in USDA Zone 9b (25 to 30°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

About 14 weeks of growing season left in Anahuac before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 02/18 isn't a guarantee

02/18 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 01/20 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 03/15 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
