When to Start and Plant Zone 5

By Jamie
April 16, 2013

Here are the start dates for some common plants that I’m growing this year. These dates are all for zone 5 and are approximate based on forecasted frost dates. Some of the dates have already passed, but it’s still not too late to start seeds. I haven’t yet planted my beets, carrots etc. but I’ll do that this weekend when I start my melons and okra.

It would however be too late to start onions from seed, but even the eggplant, peppers and tomatoes can still be started and simply planted a few weeks later, up to the 2nd week in June. My grandparents farmed for decades and never planted tomatoes earlier than June 1.
