Gardening Zone 7A Planting Calendar

If you're like me, you're always googling when to start seeds indoors versus when to plant outside, and when you should be expecting your harvests. I finally got fed up of always having to google these things and made my own little Gardening Zone 7A Planting Calendar. I thought it would be helpful to some of you out there in Zone 7A climates as well, so I made it a little bit fancy, and am sharing it right here on the blog!

We're just in time for growing season this year, with some of the seed starting happening in just a few weeks! Click the image for the calendar, and it will open in a larger window where you can download the PDF file, or just bookmark this post so you never have to Google again. (While you're at it, you might as well just bookmark The Joy Blog, that way you'll never miss a post.)

Happy planting, everyone!

    1. Yep. Just watch for frost dates and adjust as needed. Sometime there's a late frost, and putting tender summer plants in the ground will be better to wait until after.

    1. I'm in the intermountain west of the US. Elevation can have an effect on frost dates. We're at almost 5,000 ft.

    1. Sadly no, but I would recommend not planting them out until it's not going to freeze. Perennials will still likely be tender, and waiting till after frosts helps them not slow down, plus they'll establish all summer long before winter and annuals can't handle the cold.

  7. What about starting berries??

    1. Bare roots can go in as soon as you find them in stores, often late winter or super early spring. Just follow the planting instructions. If they're not bare roots, wait until after frosts.

  8. If you live in Union County Georgia do not plant your warm weather crops until week after Memorial Day. Potatoes can be planted two weeks prior to Memorial Day.

  9. I have started my vegetables inside and I am building a raised bed with a greenhouse cover. Can I plant my seedlings outside sooner than the scheduled time because of my cover for the bed? Thank you!

    1. If the weather conditions under your greenhouse covers is what it would be according to the timelines then yes! Many people do this to extend the season.
