78612, near Webberville, TX: the frost window

Zone 9a

Around 03/12 is the usual last spring frost, about 196 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/16, roughly 252 days after the last spring frost.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Webberville in Zone 9a (20 to 25°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

Stretching the season past the first frost

Webberville's growing season runs out in roughly 11 weeks — a cold frame or greenhouse kit is the usual way to keep cool-weather crops going past the first frost.

Why 03/12 isn't a guarantee

03/12 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 02/20 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/02 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
