ARIZONA COOP E R AT I V E E TENSION AZ1005 Revised 09/10 Vegetable Planting Calendar for Maricopa County Photo by Jeff Schalau Kelly Murray Young, Kai Umeda In Maricopa County, most any type of vegetables and fruits can be grown successfully when appropriate varieties are selected and planted at the right time. The climate, the season, and potential pests all impact the selection of what to plant when. Experienced gardeners and nurseries can offer advice about popular varieties of vegetables and fruits that perform well in desert conditions. Climate: High temperatures, both day and night for extended periods of time, low humidity, and the high solar intensity can put tremendous stress on plants. In addition, some plants may not survive freezing temperatures if there is a hard winter frost. Select varieties that are tolerant of temperature extremes, plant at the appropriate times to avoid temperature extremes, or plan to protect the plants. It is possible to grow crops out of season by providing shade, more humidity, artificial heat, etc. Seasons: We have two optimal growing seasons: one in the spring, the other in the fall. Both day length and temperature vary dramatically between seasons (short days and cold temperatures in winter to long days and extreme temperatures in summer). Since few annual plants are suited to thrive in both conditions, it is important to choose plants that mature quickly to ensure a full life cycle within one season. Pests: Choose varieties that have been bred to be resistant to diseases and pests. These are indicated by initials following the plant variety name, for example, in tomatoes, “V” means resistant to Verticillium wilt disease, “N” indicates resistance to Nematodes, “F” indicates resistance to Fusarium wilt disease, and “T” indicates resistance to Tobacco mosaic virus. Choose a planting date to avoid known pest seasons. For example, delay fall planting until whitefly populations decline with cooler temperatures; delay spring planting until soils become warm and dry to reduce fungal and bacterial disease problems. At a Glance Choose varieties that: 1. mature quickly; 2. provide desirable yield, taste, texture, & color; 3. are recommended by local gardeners; 4. are adapted to climate & soils; and 5. are disease & pest resistant. Use chart to choose planting date. 2 The University of Arizona Cooperative Extension 70-120 days 80-120 days Eggplant Endive S X = Sets of Cloves 55 days Cucumbers, Armenian T = Transplants 60-90 days Cucumbers S = Seeds 70-90 days Corn, Sweet S S S TS TS T S S S S S T S S S T S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S 60-90 days 80 days Chard Collard Greens S S S S S 120-150 days T S S Celery TS S S T=90-100 S=120130 days S T S Cauliflower S TS T S S 60-100 days S Carrots S T=45 S=70-80 days S Cabbage, Chinese S T=80-90 S=120-130 TS days S S 15 Cabbage S S S S 1 T=100-120 S=130150 days T S S S S S 15 Brussel Sprouts TS S S TS T 1 T=90-100 S=120130 days S TS T 15 Broccoli S S TS T 1 45 days S S S TS T 15 August Bok Choy S S S TS T 1 July 90-120 days S TS T T 15 June Blackeyed Peas 60-90 days Beans, Snap S T T 1 May 60-90days 60-90 days Beans, Pinto T T T 15 April 60-80 days 60-100 days Beans, Lima T T T 1 March Beans, Yardlong T = 30 S = 60-75 days Basil T T 15 1 1 15 Feb.
