The Growing Season refers to the number of days between the date of the last frost in the spring and the first frost in the fall. This is the part of the year when the weather conditions in a particular region, such as temperatures and rainfall, permit plant growth.
In West Virginia, the length of the growing season varies depending on location. The typical start date, or date of the last frost, ranges from September 1 - October 15. The growing season ends on the date of the first frost of fall, which can occur between April 16 and May 31.
