Almanac Planting Calendar and Guide for 2026

When to Plant Vegetables by ZIP Code

Wondering what to plant—and when? Enter your ZIP code into The Old Farmer’s Almanac Planting Calendar to see recommended planting dates for vegetables, fruits, and herbs in your area.

The calendar includes:

• Spring planting dates

• Fall planting dates

You don’t need to plant exactly on the first recommended date, but planting too late in spring or too early in fall can affect your harvest. Check seed packets for “Days to Harvest,” and allow enough time for crops to mature before the first fall frost or after the last spring frost.
