Are you wondering whether it's too early now to plant your potatoes or
lima beans?  Or perhaps you'd like to start your home vegetable
garden in July after a vacation; what can you still plant at that time to
harvest before the first fall frost?

Visit the CCE-Tompkins web site for guidelines that list a variety of
popular garden vegetables along with their suggested first and last
planting dates (as seeds, sets, or transplants) for Tompkins County,
NY.  Use our charts to decide what vegetables to put in first, and
also when to plant later crops that will mature to a useful size by fall.

or visit:

The site includes a printable 2-page PDF (31kb) with suggested first and
last planting dates for many vegetables.  

For more information, or answers to specific home gardening questions,
contact the CCE-Tompkins GrowLine or Patricia Curran at Cornell
Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County (607) 272-2292, or email Pat at
pc21 AT cornell.edu.

Garden & Plant Fair (5/14), upcoming home gardening workshops,
and local kitchen garden tours (in late summer)!
