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 Mississippi, the length of the growing season varies depending on location. The typical start date, or last day of frost, is from the middle of January to the beginning of April. The growing season ends on the date of the first frost of fall, which can occur between the middle of October to the end of November.
