Your own garden can differ from the nearest city by a week or more. Enter your ZIP code in what to plant now, and read all about zone 7a.

Sources: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991 to 2020 (median 32°F freeze dates at the weather station nearest each city); Purdue Extension, Indiana Vegetable Planting Calendar (HO-186-W, December 2020) (spring groups and fall planting 4 to 8 weeks before the first frost). Purdue wrote the rules for Indiana; because they count from your own frost dates they are a starting point anywhere with a frost season. Check each seed packet for days to maturity, and watch the forecast.
