Knowing the best time to plant vegetables is essential for successful gardening. Different crops thrive in different seasons, and understanding temperature requirements, soil conditions, and seasonal growth patterns can make a huge difference in your harvest.
Whether you’re a beginner gardener or an experienced grower, this guide will help you plan your vegetable garden efficiently.
Understanding Growing Seasons
Vegetables are typically classified into two main groups based on their temperature preferences:
1. Cool-Season Vegetables 🥶
These crops grow best in spring and fall when temperatures are mild. They can tolerate light frost and prefer soil temperatures between 45-65°F (7-18°C).
Examples:
✔ Carrots
✔ Lettuce
✔ Broccoli
✔ Peas
✔ Spinach
2. Warm-Season Vegetables ☀️
These crops thrive in late spring and summer, requiring warm temperatures to germinate and grow. They need soil temperatures above 60°F (15°C) and cannot withstand frost.
