Planting Schedule Resources

Here is a pdf file of a great Planting Schedule that I use from Portland Nursery.

http://www.portlandnursery.com/plants/docs/veggies/veggie_calendar.pdf

This schedule is for the Willamette Valley, so if you are in a different climate zone, you should plan accordingly and alter the dates to coincide with your own last/first frost dates.

Find your PLANT HARDINESS ZONE by zip code here: http://www.garden.org/zipzone/

Order you FREE Territorial Seed Catalog here: http://www.territorialseed.com/

This extraordinary catalog is brimming full with invaluable information on growing fruits & vegetables. A great resource to have in your garden library - IF you can keep the temptation to buy too many wonderful seeds and plants in check and within budget! Did I mention it's FREE?!

Mel Bartholomew's Square Foot Gardening books also have great planting schedule charts. I photocopied the charts, put in my own last/first frost dates and labeled them accordingly for easy reference.

You can be sure to find a copy at your local library.
