Zone 7a Planting Schedule

Expert Note

In Zone 7a during June, keep soil evenly moist and mulch to hold moisture and suppress weeds. Watch for aphids, flea beetles, and tomato hornworm; use row cover early and inspect leaves weekly. Water at the base in the morning to reduce fungal issues.

Seed & Soil

Transplant or set out warm-season starters like Tomato, Bell Pepper, and Zucchini while nights are reliably warm. Direct sow quick, heat-loving Basil and Cucumber into well-drained, warmed soil for fast summer harvests.

The Harvest

Start harvesting Lettuce and Spinach regularly before heat slows growth. Pick Green Beans and Summer Squash often for best texture and continued production. Harvest Radish promptly at peak size for crispness and flavor.
