 ZONE 4 



To determine the approximate planting dates for your section of the country, first find on the map the zone in which you are located. 

 Ihen. m the column under the zone number you will find the months in which the various vegetables and flowers mav be planted in 

 your section. For the sake of brevity, the columns indicate that certain flowers and vegetables may be planted during summer months 

 in Zones 1 and 2. Because of the high heat and humidity prevailing then, we recommend that planting be restricted to cooler months. 

 Summer planting is practical in Zones 3 and 4 and in certain cooler areas within Zones 1 and 2 (mainly in California). 



• If you live in southern part of Florida. California, or Texas, you should plant most hardv annual flowers and vegetables in the fall, 

 in this way they mature before heat and insect infestation become a problem. Ask your County Agricultural Agent for a local planting
