Livingston, CA: when does the frost end?

Zone 9b

Around 01/06 is the usual last spring frost, about 131 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 12/20, roughly 351 days after the last spring frost.

Zone 9b (25 to 30°F average annual minimum) comes from the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map; the frost dates above are the 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting NOAA station for Livingston, not a forecast for this year.

Stretching the season past the first frost

With roughly 16 weeks until Livingston's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

The actual range around Livingston's last frost
