Orderville, UT: when does the frost end?

Zone 6b

The last spring frost here typically falls around 06/01, about 277 days from today. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 09/30, roughly 120 days after the last spring frost.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Orderville in Zone 6b (-5 to 0°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

With roughly 5 weeks until Orderville's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

Why 06/01 isn't a guarantee

06/01 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 05/16 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 06/15 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
