Planting dates are based on zone 6A Northeast Ohio. Spring planting dates should be adjusted about a week earlier for Zone 6B and a week after for Zone 5b.

Keep in mind, that soil temperature is more important than air temperature. Cool season vegetables require soil temps above 55° while warm season vegetable require soil temps above 75°.

Most vegetables can be planted July-September for a fall harvest. Just be sure to check the number of growing days needed. Days to maturity does not factor in the germination time, so make sure to add that to your days to maturity to make sure you get your fall crop.
Spring planted vegetables should be started indoors 4 weeks before last frost date or date stated below.

Remember that these dates are general guidelines and can vary based on local climate conditions and the specific microclimate of your garden. It’s a good idea to consult your local extension services for more precise planting recommendations.

Average Last Spring Frost: May 1st – May 15th

Average First Fall Frost: October 6th – October 21st
