Zone 7b Planting Schedule

Expert Note

In June, keep soil evenly moist and mulch to hold moisture and suppress weeds. Watch for aphids, flea beetles, and tomato hornworms on warm-season plants; use scouting and targeted sprays early. Water at the base in the morning to reduce fungal issues.

Seed & Soil

Transplant or direct sow heat-lovers like Tomato and Bell Pepper while nights stay warm, and keep them well-watered as they establish. Add quick, productive fillers by direct sowing Zucchini and Basil for fast harvests, and start Cucumber where you can provide trellising.

The Harvest

Keep harvesting Lettuce and Spinach regularly to prevent bolting as temperatures rise. Pick Green Beans and Summer Squash often for best texture and continued production, and harvest Radish promptly when roots are sized.
