New Hampshire Planting Calendar

New Hampshire spans USDA zones 5b, 6a. Last spring frost runs from April 28 to May 8 depending on where you are, which is weeks of difference — so pick the location nearest you rather than planting to a statewide date.

Bottom line: a statewide planting date is a compromise nobody's garden actually lives at. New Hampshire's last-frost spread is 10 days wide. Use the location nearest you.
