Recommended Planting Dates\n\nWeve found the dates below to be the best times to plant in the inland plains of the mid-Atlantic,based on our experience in central Virginia(zone 7a,average last spring frost April 15,average first fall frost October 15).Adjust according to your own frost dates.Row cover canallowfor planting 1-2 weeks earlier in the spring and 1-2 weeks later for fall harvest inall regions.We consider the mid-Atlantic to be divided into 3distinct gardening regions:inland plains,coastal,and mountain.Use these guidelnes to adjust dates for your region:  \nCoastal Gardens:Mild winters allow forplanting spring crops up to 2-4 weeksearlier in late winter and early spring.Continue to plant cool-season fallcrops upto 2-4 weeks later in summer and fall.  \nMountain Gardens:You may need to delay plantings up to 2-4 weeks later in the late winter and early  \nspring to allow the soil to warm and dry out.Take advantage of long springs by planting cool-season spring  \ncrops up to 2-4 weeks later.Discontinue fall plantings up to 2-4 weeks earlier to ensure adequate time before  \nfrosts.Hot-season crops should be planted early enough to ensure adequate heat and time for maturation,  \nbut be sure to allow the soil to adequately warm.Choose faster-maturing varieties for hot-season crops.  \nsow indoors Feb 21-Mar 21,  \nCollards  \nArtichoke  \ndirect sow Mar 10-Sept
