Boulder City sits in USDA Zone 9b (25 to 30°F average annual minimum). The dates above are NOAA's 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting station, a 30-year average, not a forecast.

Why 03/07 isn't a guarantee

03/07 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 02/08 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/10 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
