Monthly Planting Calendar
The Mid-Atlantic (DC, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and West Virginia, USDA 6b-7b) has four seasons with warm, humid summers and cool, moderate winters. Two main planting seasons bracket the summer: a spring planting from March after the last frost (around mid-April) and a fall planting from late summer into October. Hardy greens and garlic overwinter. Last frost is typically mid-April and the first fall frost around late October. These windows are a first-pass estimate from regional extension guidance and are being reviewed locally.
