Planting seasons in Hawaii
Spring planting in Hawaii
Zone 11's last spring frost lands around January 1. Spring in Hawaii is the crowded season: the last of the indoor starts, the first direct sowings once the soil can be worked, and the transplants that go out after the frost date passes.
Nothing goes in the ground in Zone 11 between March and May. It is the planning stretch.
Summer planting in Hawaii
Summer in Hawaii is succession sowing and the start of the fall garden. Quick crops go in every few weeks, and the cool-season crops for autumn are started while it is still hot.
Nothing goes in the ground in Zone 11 between June and August. It is the planning stretch.
Fall planting in Hawaii
Zone 11's first fall frost lands around December 31. Fall planting in Hawaii means cool-season crops that finish before it, garlic and other bulbs that go in for next year, and anything hardy enough to overwinter.
Winter in Hawaii
Winter is a growing season of its own in Zone 11. Cool-season crops go in and come out while colder states are still planning, and the earliest warm-season starts begin indoors before spring.
