A practical planting calendar for U.S. home gardeners

Vegetable Planting Calendar helps gardeners estimate when to start seeds indoors, transplant, sow outdoors, and harvest by crop and state. V1 is intentionally simple: state-level guidance, bilingual pages, and clear limits.

Crop-first guidance

Start with a vegetable you want to grow, then compare seed starting, transplanting, sowing, and harvest windows across launch states.

State-level launch data

Current recommendations use typical state frost windows. They are planning estimates, not county or ZIP code-specific advice.

Built for the next phase

The roadmap points toward ZIP code frost dates, printable plans, saved crop lists, and reminder calendars.

Important limitation

Gardening conditions vary by elevation, microclimate, soil, cultivar, and season. Use these pages as a starting point, then confirm with your local Extension service before planting high-value crops.
