Every crop page includes a state-specific, printable planting card. For a full calendar across many crops, open the Planting Calendar.
How we build each planting card
Spacing, depth, and days-to-harvest figures are standard home-garden recommendations. The state-specific dates on every crop page are derived from your state's typical last/first frost normals (NOAA / state extension) so the windows move with where you actually garden. Always defer to your seed packet if it conflicts with a spacing number.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know when to plant a vegetable in my state?
Open the crop page and use its state-specific planting card: it pulls your state’s last and first frost dates to give indoor-start, sow, transplant, and harvest windows. To plan many crops at once, use the Planting Calendar tool.
What is the difference between cool- and warm-season crops?
Cool-season crops (lettuce, peas, spinach, broccoli) tolerate light frost and are planted in spring and fall. Warm-season crops (tomato, pepper, basil, cucumber) need soil and air reliably above roughly 50–60°F and are killed by frost.
Are the spacing numbers exact?
They are standard recommended spacings for conventional home beds. Container gardens and intensive raised beds often use tighter spacing. If a figure conflicts with your seed packet, follow the packet.
Why do zones matter for vegetables?
Your USDA zone tells you your average coldest winter temperature, which sets your frost-free window and which crops can overwinter. ZoneFig pairs that with local frost dates to size your whole season.
