Farhan, can you please post historical Frost Dates/Chart of the our region,if available ?

In my experience. Risalpur/Mardan/Peshawar and Islamabad Frost Dates
First Frost 25 December. Sometimes delayed till 31 December.
Last Frost 31 January. However sometime occasional frost for one or two day in first decade of February also.
For reference you can take 31 January.

Or you can take reference from hardiness zone which in my opinion for Islamabad is 10 a. For 10a frost dates are
December 15th - January 31st

Thank you. I ll consider it as 15 Nov-15 Feb,to be on safer side.
Wouldn't somebody, say the National Met Dept have compiled data?

Frost on 15 Nov, No way, Not before 15 December, come what may for Islo

Okay, make it 1 Dec-15 feb for planning purposes.We should observe it specifically this time & record.

Please can anyone tell me what is the hardiness zone for Murree?
Also, what is the best seeding month for Murree? We get a longer winter

This is the last window for starting seeds....unless on germination matts. Start now.
