Natalia, TX 78059 Frost Dates
Natalia, TX: when does the frost end?
The last spring frost here typically falls around 02/26, about 182 days from today. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/28, roughly 278 days after the last spring frost.

Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 13 weeks until Natalia'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
02/26 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 01/27 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 03/17 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
