Zone 6b (-5 to 0°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 Lakeview, not a forecast for this year.
What to do before the first frost
About 3 weeks of growing season left in Lakeview before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.
Why 06/04 isn't a guarantee
06/04 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 05/13 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 06/22 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
