Gardening calendar for zone 7

These are general recommendations based on Zone 7 gardening. Many seeds can be planted over a few weeks or months. What is listed here is the earliest recommended time to plant. For most seeds and transplants you can plant later than noted below. If a plant is listed more than once that means you can grow these twice in one year!  It is recommended to direct sow seeds into your garden unless otherwise noted.
