Monthly Planting Calendar
The Mid-South (Atlanta, the Carolina Piedmont, Tennessee and Arkansas, USDA 7b-8a) is a warm-temperate climate with two clear planting seasons split by a hot, humid summer and a real winter. A spring planting follows the last frost (around late March to early April) and a fall planting goes in from mid-summer for harvest into late autumn. Hardy greens and garlic overwinter. These windows are a first-pass estimate from regional extension guidance (UGA and neighbours) and are being reviewed locally.

When is the planting season in the Mid-South?
Two seasons: a spring planting after the last frost (late March to early April) and a fall planting from mid-summer through September. Hot, humid summers and cold winters bracket them.
What can I grow through a Mid-South winter?
Cold-hardy greens (kale, collards, spinach), root crops under cover, and garlic planted in fall will overwinter for an early spring harvest.
How accurate are these dates?
They are a careful first pass based on regional extension calendars (UGA and neighbouring states). We are reviewing them with local sources before this region is finalized.
