frost dates

Frost dates are the average dates when the first and last frosts occur in a particular area each year. The "last frost date" signals the average last day you can expect a frost in spring, helping gardeners know when it's safe to plant outdoors. The "first frost date" indicates when the first fall frost typically happens, informing when to start preparing plants for winter. These dates vary each year based on local climate, but they provide useful guidance for planning gardening or outdoor activities to prevent damage from unexpected frosts.
