| I'm extremely new to this and have found so much info here. I am starting a few different seeds this season..so far I have broccoli onions three different types of beans and peppers maybe something else I may be leaving off!! I'm beyond excited and slightly over whelmed. I was wondering if there is a website or resource I could find that would tell me what plants and their specific varieties grow in my area. I found my local extension office but the grow chart wasn't very specific. |

| Congrats on your new adventure. I don't know where you are in North Carolina, but if you search your town or county with the words "vegetable planting guide" you will get a number of websites. I searched "North Carolina Vegetable Planting Guide" and got this one from NC State University that looks easy to read: |

| It will be difficult to find one that makes anything more than loose, general recommendations. Vegetable varieties, for the most part, don't have regional preferences. Especially not in zone 7 which is one of the ideal gardening zones for many reasons. Given good soil, ample sun exposure, enough but not too much water, and sufficient nutrients any of them will grow just about any where. So focus on making the growing conditions you can provide ideal rather than the varieties. For example, it is too late in zone 7 for planting broccoli or onions. They are early spring, cool weather crops or late fall into winter crops. It is quickly getting too warm for beans too but they will do well in a Fall garden. Dave |
