1 Summary of crop timing information

2 The #s below are generalizations for early-medium maturity varieties.
3 The earliest varieties available may mature sooner. Late maturity varieties are likely to take 2+ weeks longer.
4 As the season progresses, rate of crop maturation tends to accelerate. This should be considered when timing sucessional plantings.
5 * = only one planting
6 NR = not recommended
