Planting Time

Most gardeners wait until after the risk of all frost to plant their gardens. Frost dates are very specific for each region as is your hardiness zones.

Know you area, low-lying gardens will tend to get the first frosts. Another indication of when to plant is once the soil warms up to 65 F, or when small weed seedlings start to emerge from the soil.

Using your garden layout map which you created in the planning stages, use stakes to mark out where different rows will be planted. Build your trellises or set in stout stakes for climbing plants such as peas and beans.

Create mounds on which you will put in the vining plants such as cucumbers, pumpkins and melons.

Don't forget to establish your pathways early so that you won't be walking across areas which will be planted. You don't want to be compacting the soil which you have worked so hard to fluff up.
