VEGETABLE PLANTING CALENDAR 



The dates given apply to the vicinity of Philadelphia and sections with similar growing conditions. They are based on 

 the ground becoming workable some time in March with expectancy of frost being passed by mid-April. Light fall frost 

 in early October and heavy frost in late October regulate the end of the growing season. For every 100 miles north sow 

 one week later in the spring and, one week earlier after June 30. Reverse the procedure for every 100 miles southward. 

 Take full advantage of succession sowings for a continuous supply right up to frost and winter storage. Those listed in 

 italics are particularly important for a fall and winter supply.
