Vegetable Planting Guide



You won't find a more excited person than a gardener who finally gets the chance to get their hands dirty after a long winter. Regardless of our enthusiasm sometimes the best thing for a gardener to do is wait for the ground and air to warm up a bit before sowing those tender seeds and plants. We have created the following chart to help guide you with the best time to be starting your seeds both indoors and out! For a printer friendly version click here.


The following are general recommendations based on our growing zone (5b) and when we typically have our last frost in May - Approximately May 15-20.

Starting Seeds Indoors too early may lead to leggy or hard to manage plants. Planting outdoors in the soil that is too cold can delay seed germination and set transplants back. Please be patient! Spring will come.
