Oklahoma Garden Planning Guide

17 years ago

Lately there's been a lot of questions about what to plant when, especially from new veggie gardeners or from experienced veggie gardeners who are gardening in a new location.

The OSU Oklahoma Garden Planning Guide which I have linked below has lots of helpful info, including spring planting dates.

Depending on where you live in Oklahoma and depending on your unique microclimate, you may be able to plant either earlier or later than the recommended dates. For example, here in southern OK we can begin planting onions as early as January 1st if the weather is cooperative, and I know one member of this forum who did plant his in January. You also can plant later, so don't panic if the garden guide shows you've already missed the "best" planting time. Our weather is so erratic that you can often plant cool season crops a little later than the guide says and you still get a good yield. Remember that nothing about raising veggies is engraved in stone because there are so many variables (temperatures, soil type, moisture, etc.) and so many things that can go wrong (or right).
