Globe, AZ: when does the frost end?

The actual range around Globe's last frost
05/16 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 05/02 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 06/02 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
