When to plant your vegetables 



Seasonal zones compiled from the U. S. Department of Agriculture records, 

 based on the average date of the last killing frost in spring. 



(See also "Make the Most of Your Vegetable Garden" listed on page 1) 



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

 Then, in the column under the zone number you will find the months in which the various vegetables and flowers may be planted in 

 your section. 



•If you live in southern part of Florida, California, or Texas, you should plant most hardy 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 

 guide.
