One of the most critical factors governing a successful gardening venture is the best planting time for a particular plant in your neck of the woods. There are a number of sites offering a wealth of information on this subject. I have decided to narrow the options down somewhat. As I stated before, one of the best resources available is the Farmer's Almanac.
Another critical issue deals with plant hardiness. An extremely valuable tool for determining the best plants available for your area, based on hardiness, is the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map. Once again rather than get into a lengthy dicussion, I have provided the links to these tools. First of all some helpful information explaining the use of the map. Then the map itself.
Please use both of these wonderful guides for your gardening enjoyment. Enter your zipcode in the Almanac to find the best planting times. Use the hardiness zone map to determine which plants have the best chance of survival in your area based on temperature ranges.
