Monthly Planting Calendar
The Southern Plains (Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska, USDA 6-7) have hot summers, cold-snap winters and a long roughly 190-210 day season split into two planting windows. A spring planting follows the last frost (early-to-mid April) and a fall planting goes in from late summer into October. Garlic and hardy greens overwinter. Last frost is typically early-to-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.
