Zone 7b

NYC planting calendar

New York City sits in USDA zone 7b. This is what to start, move outside, and harvest each month.

Jump to a month

January

Start indoors

  • Onions
  • Leeks

Harvest

  • Kale
  • Collards
  • Leeks left in the ground

Frost sweetens kale and collards, so January greens taste better than October ones. Otherwise this is a planning month.

Everything in a Baby Sprout kit can be grown indoors year-round on a bright sill.
