planting dates

When seeds go

Planting dates are the recommended times for sowing seeds or transplanting seedlings, determined by climate, frost patterns, and crop requirements.

Gardeners and farmers consult planting dates to optimize germination and harvest: Check your local planting dates before putting tomatoes in the ground.

The term also refers to the actual days when planting occurred: We recorded planting dates for each variety.
