Charting the Unknown or Forgotten: Raised Beds in Zone 7A

Once again Spring has arrived and it’s time for me to turnover the raised beds and prepare for another growing season. This year I decided to finally document the answers to what and when should I start things that we like to grow in raised beds in Zone 7A.

What and When Should I Start Seed In My Raised Beds in Zone 7A?

Here is a table that contains the information for commonly grown vegetables, lettuces, kale, herbs, corn, okra, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and beans for Zone 7A:

Just so you know these times may vary depending on specific growing conditions and practices, so it’s always a good idea to consult a gardening guide or expert for more detailed information. Don’t come crying to me if your thumbs aren’t as green as mine. Remember I’m a GNOME. Your local agriculture agency is typically a good choice but your mileage will most likely vary.

Personally I’d rather keep this table in my personal hand-written journal but someone wanted me to share it here. I’m sure you are thanking me for the handy information, however, don’t because I’m only doing for beer. You have to understand that I was promised a beer for each post I author. Me, me, me.

Were the Squash, Corn, and Beans Forgotten?

No, they are in a different table. In the next post that I’ll be forced to write, I will provide another zone 7A chart that will focus on summer and winter squash which we will be co-planting with corn and beans this year in our newest raised bed. Yes, that would be the Three-Sisters, if you were wondering.

Well have fun toiling in your garden because someone needs to have fun around here…
