You want to make a garden, but you don’t know when to plant each type of plant? This is for you. First, it is important to know that you will not be able to plant all your plants at the same time. Some plants tolerate the cold well while others do not. Then, you must know that this calendar is for information only. You have to be careful, because the temperatures vary from year to year.

If you have planted your plants and a sudden cold snap or frost is forecasted, don’t panic. Simply cover your plants with a sheet or any type of fabric. Avoid plastic because it transmits the cold.
