Below is a US Zone map showing the Average Dates of Last Spring Frost for the zone where you live. Keep in mind this is only an estimate of the approximate dates for your zone.
Last frost date
Most planting directions are based on the average last frost date. The last frost date for an area is the last day in the spring that you might have a killing frost.
When making your plant selections, it is wise to consult more experienced gardening friends for advice regarding your local conditions. Their knowledge can be invaluable.
U.S. Frost Dates by City and State
(in Alphabetical Order)
These are common frost free dates that vary somewhat within each region depending upon the local terrain and presence of a water body. By knowing the frost free dates in your region, this is a helpful tool to aid you in the number (in days) of your growing season.
This table lists general data only - see your local state university extension office for exact frost dates in your area.
