What are frost dates?
Frost dates indicate the average date of the last frost in spring and the first frost in fall for a given location. They help you know when it's safe to plant!
What is my growing season?
Your growing season is the number of frost-free days between the last spring frost and the first fall frost. A longer growing season means more time to grow warm-weather crops like tomatoes and peppers.
How we determine your frost dates
These dates are based on historical weather data from government weather stations and help gardeners determine when to plant and when to protect or harvest their crops.
What if I have no frost dates?
Some locations may not have frost dates. In tropical or subtropical climates, frost rarely or never occurs, meaning you can grow year-round. In very cold regions, frost may occur in any month. If your area has no frost dates, see our guide on growing in warm climates for tips on gardening without a traditional frost season.
