Where the timing comes from

Choose the region that actually covers your garden. These source references are not a nationwide planting calendar.

Published regional calendar

Florida

Use the Florida calendar for your specific subregion. Planting months are not interchangeable across the state.

Grouped source row: the calendar covers more than one crop type. It does not establish a separate cultivar-specific schedule.

The source uses an older family classification, so its family label may differ from the one shown here.

Outside these regions? Use your local Extension planting guidance. A nearby weather station describes climate; it does not establish whether or when to plant this crop.

02 / Know when the clock starts

How long until harvest?

The reviewed Florida source provides this maturity reference. Your variety and growing conditions can change the interval.

Count from sowing seed. The source does not establish an indoor or outdoor starting location.

The starting location is unspecified. The source gives days from seeding, but does not say whether that seed is started indoors or in the garden. This cannot be used as an outdoor planting countdown.

Plan for shallots

  • This source maturity starts at seeding but does not specify an indoor or outdoor start; do not treat it as an outdoor countdown.
  • Do not reuse the seed-based maturity range for planted bulbs or divided multiplier onions.

Maturity references vary with cultivar, harvest size, weather, and establishment method. Keep your seed packet or transplant label alongside the regional calendar.
