Zone 1 Vegetable Planting Guide

Zone 1 vegetable gardening will take a bit of planning ahead. With a last frost date of approx June 1st and first frost date of approx July 31st, you might be limited in what you can grow outside. First and last frost days may vary by 2 weeks (or more depending on the weather).

Since the growing period for Zone 1 is so short, it is recommended that you start seeds indoors. A simple setup might be a shop light over a table or as elaborate as a heated greenhouse or multiple racks with lights.

We hope that our USDA Zone Specific planting guide with be a helpful tool in your garden planning and planting!

Asparagus, Artichoke and Rhubarb take approx 1 year to mature from seed so if you intend to grow from seed you'll need a bit more room.  Asparagus should be planted in the ground so it's not recommended for this zone.

Easy varieties to grow indoors include: Arugula, Sprouting Broccoli, Chinese Cabbage, Lettuce, Kale, Spinach and Swiss Chard.

Growing indoors allows you to produce and eat fresh green year-round!
