Local data

Why this date changes by ZIP

New York frost history and USDA zone 7b shift the safe planting window. GrowZone uses a local representative station instead of one national rule.

Cornell Cooperative Extension is the kind of local source to verify against when a crop is expensive, weather is unusual, or your yard has a cold pocket.

Crop note

Spinach timing notes

Plant early and again in late summer for fall leaves. Spinach prefers sun to part shade, 4-6 in spacing, and soil near 40 F+.

For fall, count backward from Nov 5. A conservative last sowing target is around Sep 21.
