| Planting dates shown for crops marked * are intended to be for setting plants into the garden. Seeds should be sown 40-60 days earlier, indoors or under glass. Seed should be covered from three to five times its diameter. Press soil down firmly. Keep moist continuously. The above chart gives distances between rows for hand cultivation; where a garden tractor is used, the rows should be farther apart. Planting times are based on average seasonal temperatures in Scranton, PA (USDA Zone 5). |
