Average Frost Dates for the North (2012 – 2013)


There’s a reason why people look for the first and last frost dates in their area. Many gardeners, including myself, plan their gardens around these dates. In the north, the spring frost signals the beginning of the growing season while the fall frost signals the end. These dates are also called the first and last average frost dates with the last occurring in the spring and the first in fall.
