2026 Gardening Calendar: Western USA Planting Guide

2026 Vegetable & Herb Gardening Calendar : Western U.S. Version

This calendar is the perfect companion for any gardener, from kids to pros. Each month features a list of crops to start from seed that month, along with hand drawn illustrations of selections from each list. The bold color palette will bring color to your space while helping you track your garden year round!

Calendar is available in two sizes

If you are located in the Eastern U.S., I have a version for you in the Calendars portion of my shop!

How to Use:

Each month lists crops that can be started from seed that month. For crops that require starting seeds indoors, this month is the general timeframe to start them indoors. For seeds that can be sown directly in the garden, this month is a general timeframe to start them outdoors. Some months are not proper conditions in most regions to start any crops, and should be used to harvest your current crops, remove any dead material from your garden, and prune plants. For winter, this is the time to move any fragile plants indoors or into a greenhouse, or otherwise protect them from frost.
These timeframes are general, and based on areas with average conditions that are considered “typical” to that portion of the country. However, they may not apply to your specific region and further research should be done through the Farmer’s Almanac or your local Gardening organizations for specific dates to your area.
For those in the Midwest, you are most likely to find your dates follow closest to the Eastern U.S. version.
Some crops may have two seasons in your region and therefore may appear on more than one list.

Please note, these calendars are printed to order by a third-party printing company that will create your calendar especially for you, and ship directly to you as soon as it’s done! Because of this, I unfortunately cannot include any special notes in the package itself. If you purchase multiple items from my shop, they may ship separately and include separate shipping details. If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to send me a message!
