Frequently asked questions
What can I plant in May in zone 13?
Warm-season crops: tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, tomatillos, cucumbers, zucchini, and 14 more. Cool-season vegetables do better waiting for the October–March mild season.
Does zone 13 have a planting season at all?
Not a frost-driven one — zone 13 is frost-free, so the calendar runs on heat and rainfall. The practical rhythm: cool-season vegetables October through March, warm-season crops most of the year with a pause at peak summer heat.
