The purpose of the YearRound
Home Garden Planting Guide is to
show activities in the garden by season.
The closer to the bottom of the box
a vegetable or activity is listed, the
closer to the end of the month it
should be planted or performed.
To produce tomato, broccoli,
cabbage and cauliflower for fall crops,
sow seed about four weeks earlier than
the suggested transplanting date.
This planting guide was prepared
for persons in central Arkansas
zones B and C. Adjust planting dates
earlier or later depending on your
particular zone.
For additional gardening
information, see your county Extension
agent and visit our web site at

For indepth gardening information,
