Vermont Planting Calendar

Vermont spans USDA zone 5a. Last spring frost runs from April 29 to May 6 depending on where you are, which is weeks of difference — so pick the location nearest you rather than planting to a statewide date.

Bottom line: a statewide planting date is a compromise nobody's garden actually lives at. Vermont's last-frost spread is 7 days wide. Use the location nearest you.
