Articles are provided for educational purposes and may be reprinted unaltered without prior permission, provided credit is given to the authors and this website as the source. Notice of their use and publication, however, would be appreciated and can be sent to leonard.perry@uvm.edu. You are advised to check here also to make sure the information in the article is still current and accurate. The most recent articles are listed nearest the top of each category heading.

Articles are listed below by season appropriate to Vermont and similar regions in USDA hardiness zone 4 (don't know your zone? check the Links page for zone finders, or hardiness zone finder on the home garden page). For each hardiness zone warmer add a couple weeks in fall, and subtract a couple weeks in spring for approximate dates. In other words, activities for late September in zone 4 might be done 4 weeks later in zone 6, and activities for early May in zone 4 might be done 4 weeks sooner in zone 6. Time of season, such as early or late, are indicated next to article names where appropriate.
