Zone 9a

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 03/28, roughly 212 days out. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/06, about 225 frost-free days later.

Myrtle Point sits in USDA Zone 9a (20 to 25°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.

What to do before the first frost

Zone 9a around Myrtle Point has about 10 weeks left before the first fall frost — that's the usual window to get a cold frame up if you want to keep harvesting past it.

Why 03/28 isn't a guarantee

03/28 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 02/22 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/27 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
