Planting too early or too late wastes seeds. Soil temperature and frost dates guide decisions.

Cool crops like peas, spinach, and radishes go in before the last frost. Carrots, beets, and lettuce follow as soil warms.

Heat-loving crops such as beans, corn, and squash need warm soil after frost risk passes.

Late in the season, fast growers like kale and arugula fit a second planting window.

Track local frost dates. Soil warmth matters more than calendar dates.
