In keeping with the four season harvest idea, we’ve been paying much more attention to plant schedules. Plant schedules help you to know when the best time to plant is. Each region of the world has its own schedule, but this is just a general guide to use. Weather plays a large role in determining when the best time to plant is, and things like proximity to water, mountains, etc can all change the schedule you use.
Along the same lines of schedules comes plant hardiness. After all, the hardiness of a plant determines when it can be planted 🙂 So, when you know a plant hardiness, you will also have a good idea when you can start planting and harvesting.
A few things to pay attention to when planning planting dates: planting indoors vs outdoors. Some plants grow better when directly planted outdoors while others have a higher success rate if started indoors in a controlled environment. In our area there are some varieties of vegetables that are best started indoors and transplanted, because the growing season is too short for them otherwise.
So, where do you find planting schedules for your area? There are many different sources – here are a few:
- Local cooperative extension offices
- Local gardening businesses
- Local universities
Or sites like:
