Spring planting

Fall planting

A planning starting point, not an exact schedule.

These windows are derived from University of Maryland Extension's regional planting calendar and rounded to whole weeks. Actual timing shifts with your variety, microclimate, and the current year's weather — confirm dates against your county or state Extension office. See our guides on planning by frost date and protecting crops from an early frost for more on managing that uncertainty.
