DibbleSuccession planting schedule
Sow a little, often, and you pick for months instead of all at once. These are the crops worth re-sowing, how far apart to space the sowings, and the last date each zone can still sow and finish before frost.

The last sowing that still beats frost
Counted back from each zone's first fall frost, for a fast, a mid-season, and a slow crop. Sow after these dates and the planting runs out of season before it finishes.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zone 3 | September 15 | August 16 | July 17 | June 17 |
| Zone 4 | September 21 | August 22 | July 23 | June 23 |
| Zone 5 | October 1 | September 1 | August 2 | July 3 |
| Zone 6 | October 17 | September 17 | August 18 | July 19 |
| Zone 7 | October 29 | September 29 | August 30 | July 31 |
