Idaho Planting Calendar

Idaho spans USDA zones 6a, 7a, 7b. Last spring frost runs from April 6 to May 23 depending on where you are, which is weeks of difference — so pick the location nearest you rather than planting to a statewide date.

Bottom line: a statewide planting date is a compromise nobody's garden actually lives at. Idaho's last-frost spread is 47 days wide. Use the location nearest you.
