Oregon Planting Calendar

Oregon spans USDA zones 5b, 6b, 8b, 9a. Last spring frost runs from March 13 to June 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. Oregon's last-frost spread is 90 days wide. Use the location nearest you.
