The 2027 Garden Planting Calendar (Zone 8 Texas) - Digital Download
About the photos: this edition is brand new, so the pictures on this page are placeholders while I finish the design. What you get will look just like the rest of the 2027 collection (same layout, same style), with every date built for your part of the country.
Made for Zone 8 Texas.
Pre-order: the 2027 calendars release on November 15, 2026. Your download link is emailed to you that day, so there is nothing to do until then.
New for 2027: a planting calendar made just for Zone 8 gardens in Texas (North and Central Texas), and this is the download version. Texas summers are long and brutal, with triple-digit stretches most years. This edition splits your year into a spring garden and a fall garden, and saves the heat of July and August for the toughest crops.
Every planting window is built around frost dates from Dallas-Fort Worth, TX (Zone 8a): March 8 for the average last frost and November 24 for the average first frost. You'll know what to start, sow, and transplant each week, with no guesswork and no frantic Googling.
Inside, you'll find:
Month-by-month planting windows for vegetables, herbs, flowers, alliums, garlic, fruit, fall crops, and more
Color-coded tags that show how to plant each crop: start indoors, direct sow, transplant, or succession sow
Week-by-week timing counted from your frost dates, plus a spring frost countdown
Monthly garden task lists so you always know what to do next
A simple "how to shift" guide so you can nudge every date to match your own garden if it runs early or late
Meg's picks and tips every month, plus space for your own notes
