Pima County Vegetable Planting and Harvesting Guide

UA Pima County half-month vegetable table with sow, transplant, harvest, do-not-plant markers, crop rows, and local timing examples.

Climate signals

• The source is the Pima County Planting Guide, a UA Cooperative Extension vegetable planting and harvesting table for Pima County.
• The table uses half-month columns from January through December, rather than one universal planting date.
• The key marks blank cells as Do not plant, S as Sow Seeds, S/T as Sow /Transplant, T as Transplant, and a separate Harvest marker.
• Use this guide as a Pima County table; do not replace neighboring county calendars or broader elevation guidance with it.

Planning notes

• Arugula has January and February S/T windows plus September S, October S/T, November S/T, and December S/T windows.
• Beans, Snap (Bush) has March and April sowing windows and a fall sowing window in September.
• Bell Peppers include January seed starts, February through April transplant windows, and summer or fall planting windows in the second half of the table.
• Broccoli: Calabrese has January and February S/T windows and fall-to-winter rows later in the table.
• Carrot has January through April sowing windows and September through December sowing windows.
• Collards have January and February S/T windows and fall-to-winter rows later in the table.
• Cucumber: Traditional has April, May, and June rows plus August and September S/T rows.
• Melons have April through June S/T rows and July rows.
• Peas rows list Shelling, Snow, and Sugar Snap peas, with January sowing and September through December sowing windows.
• Soy row appears in the table; use the edamame link only as a soybean crop-row example.
• Spinach: Winter has January and February rows plus October through December rows.
• Summer spinach is labeled as NZ & Malabar in the source table, so the Malabar spinach link is a crop-row example only.
• Squash, Summer and Winter both use March through June S/T rows, while summer squash also continues into later summer rows.
• Tomato includes January seed starts and February through April transplant windows.
• Yardlong beans and cowpeas appear as separate Pima table rows; use the yardlong catalog link only for that explicit row.
• Use these priority catalog links as crop-row examples, not UA cultivar recommendations.
