Lynnwood-Pricedale, Pennsylvania, sits in USDA hardiness zone 6b — enough range to grow cool-season vegetables, hardy fruit, and warm-season crops that mature before the first hard frost.
Reliable performers under these conditions include cabbage, hazelnut, lavender, and collard greens; what your own ground favors still comes down to its soil, sun, and drainage.
Even in Lynnwood-Pricedale, no two yards are alike.

What this means for growing in Lynnwood-Pricedale
Each reading below is measured for Lynnwood-Pricedale itself — here is what it means for a garden here, and the move an experienced grower makes about it.
Season length
MeasuredLynnwood-Pricedale runs about 217 days between hard freezes — a long growing season.
There is slack for succession plantings and slow-finishing crops: many vegetables can be sown twice, and the heat-lovers have time to ripen fully.
Plan a second sowing of quick crops after the first comes out, and use the fall window most gardeners let sit idle.

Winter hardiness
MeasuredLynnwood-Pricedale sits in USDA hardiness zone 6b.
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 Lynnwood-Pricedale is in

Is it too late to plant in Lynnwood-Pricedale?
Usually not — gardeners here simply switch what goes in the ground as the season moves. Cool-season crops can go in from around Mar 8; tender transplants wait until two to three weeks after the last 28°F hard freeze, which lands near Apr 5 (NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals); and from midsummer, planting counts back from the first fall freeze around Nov 8 — long-season crops need about 90 days of runway, quick greens only 30. Here the season winds down slowly: late sowings, a real autumn harvest, and garlic in the ground before the first hard freeze.

Your land is one point inside Lynnwood-Pricedale
Everything above resolves to Lynnwood-Pricedale as a whole — one PHZM band and one 28°F frost record, read across 791 acres. 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 Lynnwood-Pricedale
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 Lynnwood-Pricedale’s own record; 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 Lynnwood-Pricedale
When does frost risk typically end in Lynnwood-Pricedale?
The last hard freeze (28°F) in Lynnwood-Pricedale typically lands around Apr 5, 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 Apr 26.
When is the first frost in Lynnwood-Pricedale?
The first hard freeze (28°F) in Lynnwood-Pricedale typically arrives around Nov 8, per NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals — the point tender summer crops finish. Lighter frosts run ahead of it, near Oct 25, so the watching starts about Oct 9 — about 217 days after the spring freeze cleared.
How long is the growing season in Lynnwood-Pricedale?
Measured between 28°F hard freezes, Lynnwood-Pricedale sees about 217 frost-free days — roughly Apr 5 through Nov 8, per NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals. Tender crops work a shorter one: nearer Apr 26 to Oct 25, about 182 days.
Is the soil safe to grow vegetables in Lynnwood-Pricedale?
The federal record around Lynnwood-Pricedale is a meaningful one — 584 documented sites, mostly Underground Storage Tanks entries (323), the nearest Nitrate record about 0.1 miles 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 Lynnwood-Pricedale?
From about Oct 9 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 Nov 8 (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 Nov 8. Hardy greens and roots shrug off light frost and sweeten after it — leave them in.
