Maryland Planting Calendar

Maryland spans USDA zone 7b. Last spring frost runs from April 9 to April 11 depending on where you are, which is weeks of difference — so pick the location nearest you rather than planting to a statewide date.

Bottom line: a statewide planting date is a compromise nobody's garden actually lives at. Maryland's last-frost spread is 2 days wide. Use the location nearest you.
