Planting dates by place
How the dates are worked out
- Weather for your place. Years of daily weather statistics from the Open-Meteo archive, for each published place.
- Frost and season. The typical last and first frost, and the weeks that suit cool-season and warm-season crops.
- Matched to each plant. Each plant's temperature range and days to harvest are checked against those weeks.
These are typical figures, not guarantees. Microclimates vary, so adjust a week or two for your garden.
