For Canadian zones, deep winter and very late fall don't support outdoor sowing for most crops. Try May, June, or August.

Tips for using this calendar
→Today's date is on every bar
Each card has a tiny timeline showing the planting window (green) and harvest window (orange). The dark vertical line is today, so you can see at a glance whether you're early, on time, or past the window.
→Stagger your fast growers
Anything that ripens quickly (radishes, lettuce, arugula) is begging for succession planting. Plant a fresh row every 2 weeks while their window is open and you'll harvest continuously.
→Indoor starts shift these dates
If a plant takes 90+ days, you'll typically start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before your last frost. The dates here are for direct outdoor sowing: the full plant guide tells you when to start indoors.
→Numbers are best-case
Cool weather, low light, or cramped roots can push harvest dates 20–30% later. Watch the plant, not the calendar. It'll tell you when it's ready.
