In Oregon, with so many regions with different climates, the ideal time to plant vegetables depends on which region you live in, according to the experts at Oregon State University Extension Service.
Where is your garden?
- Oregon coast: cool, long season of 190–250 days.
- Western valleys: 150–250 day season; warm days, cool nights; length of season varies year to year.
- High elevations: short growing season of 90–120 days; frost can occur during any month.
- Columbia and Snake River valleys: 120–200-day season; hot days, warm nights; length of season fairly well defined.
