Lincoln City, OR: when does the frost end?
Around 03/17 is the usual last spring frost, about 201 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/22, roughly 251 days after the last spring frost.

Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 12 weeks until Lincoln City's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.
Why 03/17 isn't a guarantee
03/17 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 02/09 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/15 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
