Veggie Planting Calendar
Our mild, Willamette Valley winters allow for year-round veggies in the garden. The success of the harvest hinges heavily on getting the plants in the ground at the appropriate time.
Plant care & info
Our tried-and-true Veggie Planting Calendar provides a rough timeline for when to start your seeds and transplant your veggie starts.

This timetable is tailored for the Willamette Valley. If you are at a higher elevation, or a colder zone, these times may need to be adjusted in order to fit your weather patterns. You can move up planting times by one month if you have a cold frame. A spacing guide is also provided to help you plan your garden.
Proper soil preparation is essential to a successful harvest. Till a healthy dose (about a 1⁄2 inch) of organic material, such as manure, into the soil before planting. In addition, add some organic fertilizer to the planting area. The amount of fertilizer varies with each vegetable. You can find some excellent, additional veggie information in Steve Solomon’s guide, Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades—including specifics on cold, heat, and day length sensitivities.
Enjoy the fruits of your labor and love!
