When to plant peas in zone 7?
If you garden in Zone 7 or colder, you will need to start your sweet pea seeds in late winter or early spring. Do not wait until last frost! As a general rule of thumb, you should start your seeds inside about 6-8 weeks before your last expected frost. In USDA Hardiness Zone 7 or colder, plant them in very late winter or early spring as soon as the soil is dry enough to work. Do not wait until last frost to sow! This plant grows from large, easy-to-handle, pea-like seeds. Still, they’re a bit tricky because they are slow to germinate.
Is April too late to plant?
Believe it or not, April is the month to prepare your garden for the high temps that are heading your way. You’ll transition to your hot season, when the average high is 85°F (29. C) or above, for the summer very soon. That means it’s already a little late to plant things like tomatoes and regular cucumbers. April is the best time to plant most of your vegetable seeds after your last frost for all zones. It’s still not too late to plant tomatoes and peppers from seeds as well! Check out the below vegetables that can be started in April. Be sure to check your gardening zone for last frost dates.
