Mississippi Planting Calendar

Mississippi spans USDA zones 8b, 9a. Last spring frost runs from February 18 to March 14 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. Mississippi's last-frost spread is 24 days wide. Use the location nearest you.
