Zone 8b

The last spring frost here typically falls around 04/11, about 226 days from today. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/30, about 203 frost-free days later.

Halsey sits in USDA Zone 8b (15 to 20°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.

About 9 weeks of growing season left in Halsey before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 04/11 isn't a guarantee

04/11 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/11 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 05/05 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
