Victoria, TX 77905 Frost Dates
Victoria, TX: when does the frost end?
Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 02/14, roughly 170 days out. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 12/09, roughly 299 days after the last spring frost.

Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 15 weeks until Victoria'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
02/14 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 01/17 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 03/13 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
