What this means for growing in Woodville Farm Labor Camp
Each reading below is measured for Woodville Farm Labor Camp itself — here is what it means for a garden here, and the move an experienced grower makes about it.
Season length
From county recordsWoodville Farm Labor Camp runs about 296 days between hard freezes (read from Tulare County, the closest normal to Woodville Farm Labor Camp) — close to year-round growing.
Frost is rarely the limit here; winter plantings are as real as summer ones, and the harder question is which crops shrug off the summer heat.
Grow cool-season crops through the mild winter, and choose heat-tolerant varieties for the summer beds.

Winter hardiness
MeasuredWoodville Farm Labor Camp sits in USDA hardiness zone 9b.
The zone sets which perennials, shrubs, and fruit trees live through an average winter here — a plant rated for a colder zone is a safe bet, one rated warmer needs winter protection or gets treated as an annual.
Match perennials and fruit to the zone before you buy, so nothing you plant is a gamble against the cold.

The kind of country Woodville Farm Labor Camp is in
Woodville Farm Labor Camp sits in the Central California Valley — EPA Level III, inside the wider Mediterranean California. That is read at Woodville Farm Labor Camp's own centroid, and it is not what its county reads: Tulare County is mostly Sierra Nevada. The wider page above you is answering a different question about different ground.
What Grows in Woodville Farm Labor Camp
Plants matched to Woodville Farm Labor Camp's USDA zones 9b, ordered by how much hardiness margin each has here — the ones with room to spare at both ends of this town's band lead. Each links to its full growing profile.
Is it too late to plant in Woodville Farm Labor Camp?
For most of the year, no — what changes is which crops still fit the days remaining. Cool-season crops can go in from around Jan 20; tender transplants wait until two to three weeks after the last 28°F hard freeze, which lands near Feb 17 (NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals); and from midsummer, planting counts back from the first fall freeze around Dec 10 — long-season crops need about 90 days of runway, quick greens only 30. With almost year-round growing weather, timing is about heat and rainfall more than frost — some bench is always in play.

What an experienced grower watches for around here
In and around Woodville Farm Labor Camp, Brownfields runs higher than the national average — 434 sites within ~10 miles of Woodville Farm Labor Camp. Knowing it is half the work — and it's nothing a thoughtful grower can't plan for.
Brownfields: Brownfield sites are former commercial or industrial properties where legacy soil contamination (heavy metals, PAHs, petroleum compounds) may persist.
Check EPA brownfield remediation status — many sites have completed cleanup with institutional controls.

Your land is one point inside Woodville Farm Labor Camp
Everything above resolves to Woodville Farm Labor Camp as a whole — one PHZM band, read across 122 acres, with hard-freeze dates borrowed from Tulare County’s record because no 30-year normal resolves at this town’s own centroid. Your parcel is one point inside that footprint. Slope, tree cover, a low spot that pools cold air, and what is in the soil are all resolved at the address, and none of them are visible at town scale. That is the honest boundary of this page, and the reason the next step is a reading of your own ground rather than a better local average.

How we know this about Woodville Farm Labor Camp
The datasets: hardiness from the USDA ARS Plant Hardiness Zone Map 2023, read at this town’s own centroid; hard-freeze dates from NOAA 1991–2020 28°F normals at Tulare County’s record, because none resolves here; boundaries and acreage from US Census TIGER/Line 2025; the contamination records from the federal sources named in their beats above. Soil is not read at town grain anywhere on this page — there is no town-resolution survey in our data, which is why you will find no soil grid here rather than a statewide one wearing a local label. The resolution ledger below names every figure this page inherited.
Common questions about Woodville Farm Labor Camp
When does frost risk typically end in Woodville Farm Labor Camp?
The last hard freeze (28°F) in Woodville Farm Labor Camp typically lands around Feb 17, per NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals — earlier than the light-frost dates most charts quote. That marks the hard freeze, not the last light frost — lighter frosts keep biting past it, which is why tender transplants here wait until about Mar 10.
When is the first frost in Woodville Farm Labor Camp?
The first hard freeze (28°F) in Woodville Farm Labor Camp typically arrives around Dec 10, per NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals — the point tender summer crops finish. Lighter frosts run ahead of it, near Nov 26, so the watching starts about Nov 10 — about 296 days after the spring freeze cleared.
How long is the growing season in Woodville Farm Labor Camp?
Measured between 28°F hard freezes, Woodville Farm Labor Camp sees about 296 frost-free days — roughly Feb 17 through Dec 10, per NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals. Tender crops work a shorter one: nearer Mar 10 to Nov 26, about 261 days.
Is the soil safe to grow vegetables in Woodville Farm Labor Camp?
The federal record around Woodville Farm Labor Camp is a meaningful one — 654 documented sites, mostly Brownfields entries (434), the nearest Brownfields record under a tenth of a mile out — so a soil test before new food beds is a sensible precaution here, not a reason to hold back from growing. Remember that proximity to a documented site is information, not a diagnosis of any one yard; the contamination map shows exactly what sits where.
How do I protect my plants from frost in Woodville Farm Labor Camp?
From about Nov 10 the job here turns from planting to protecting — the last start even a 30-day crop can finish. As the season closes around the first 28°F hard freeze near Dec 10 (NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals), three moves buy time: row cover or an old sheet over tender plants on still, clear nights; water the soil the afternoon before a freeze, so it holds warmth overnight; and harvest tomatoes, peppers and basil before Dec 10. Hardy greens and roots shrug off light frost and sweeten after it — leave them in.
