Planting calendar for Pasadena
USDA's planting table covers places whose average last freeze is between January 30 and June 10, and whose first freeze is between August 30 and December 20. Pasadena's frost dates fall outside it, so we don't give planting dates for it.
Planting dates: USDA Home and Garden Bulletin No. 9 (1967), “Suburban and Farm Vegetable Gardens,” tables 4 and 5 (earliest safe spring and latest safe fall dates), applied to this place's NOAA frost dates. “Plants” means setting out transplants, not sowing seed. How we match the table.
