Growing Schedules Schedule A: Transplant in summer through early fall in poly hoops or outdoors for spring sales. Typically planting occurs August-September. Plant earlier for larger pot sizes like 2-gallon. You may need to cover with a frost blanket for added protection in colder zones. Cover prior to severe cold or before temperatures are consistently below 32 F (0 C) at night. Uncover approximately March 1st-15th to sell in spring. Fall pinching/shearing and spring cleanup is variety dependent. Schedule B: Transplant in fall through mid-winter inside minimally heated structures for spring sales. This typically occurs October-December. Overwinter by maintaining temperature above 32 F (0 C) and below 45 F (7 C) for vernalization to occur. Can move outdoors or remove protective cover approximately March 1st-15th to sell in spring. In warmer zones, where temperatures remain above freezing for most of the winter, growing inside a heated structure may not be necessary. Schedule C: Transplant outdoors for early summer sales. Planting typically occurs in March and April. Schedule D: Transplant outdoors in late spring or early summer for late summer or fall sales. Planting typically occurs in late May-June. Schedule E: Transplant in January-March inside a heated greenhouse. Grow at approximately 55 F (13 C) night and 65 F (18 C) day temperatures for spring sales. Force under short day conditions. Schedule F: Transplant in January-March inside heated greenhouse. Grow at approximately 55 F (13 C) night and 65 F (18 C) day temperatures for spring sales. Force under long day conditions. Schedule G: Transplant in late winter in a low heat greenhouse using vernalized 72-cell or 30-cell liners. Protect from hard freezing but allow to develop naturally as day length and temperatures increase. Sell in spring or early summer as plants develop. Use multiple vernalized 72-cell liners per pot for containers larger than one gallon. Schedule H: Transplant in November to early January outside or under saran. Protect from hard freezing with either minimal heat, covers, or icing. Once plants are rooted down, provide long days to initiate flowering for spring sales. Schedule I: Transplant in November to early January outside or under saran. Protect from hard freezing with either minimal heat, covers, or icing. Grow and finish under natural day length for spring sales. Schedule J: Transplant liners in May-June for sales the following spring-early summer. This is to allow sufficient time to bulk the plants before the shorter day lengths and lower temperatures of fall arrive. A fall planting is not advised. Schedule K: Transplant in January-March inside a heated greenhouse. Grow at approximately F (18-24 C) for late spring-early summer sales.
