Garden Planning Guide
Essential knowledge for successful gardening
Hardiness Zones
Understanding your hardiness zone is crucial for successful gardening. It determines which plants can survive winter in your area and when to plant.
- Zones are based on average minimum winter temperatures
- Each zone represents a 10°F temperature range
- Sub-zones (a/b) narrow this to 5°F ranges
Plant Spacing
Proper spacing ensures plants get adequate light, air circulation, and nutrients for healthy growth.
- Prevents competition for resources
- Reduces disease and pest problems
- Maximizes yield per square foot
Succession Planting
Plant the same crop multiple times throughout the season for continuous harvests and extended growing periods.
- Prevents glut harvests
- Extends harvest season
- Reduces risk of total crop loss
