Frequently asked questions

Can I plant anything in November in zone 7?

Not outdoors, and nothing needs starting indoors yet either — November sits in zone 7's off-season. The next task on the calendar: start seeds indoors for onions (Jan 19 – Feb 2).

What should a zone 7 gardener do in November?

Order seeds before spring sellouts, plan beds with the plant spacing calculator, and build your seed-starting schedule so trays are ready the moment the calendar turns. Off-season planning is why organized spring gardens look effortless.
