Here are your monthly tailored lists of seeds to sow all in one place! We’ve cultivated this information and selected seeds that will grow best in USDA growing zone 9b, a wide region that includes Napa County. Each month there’s a wide variety of vegetable, herb, flower, cover crop, and ornamental seeds you can choose to grow in this region. Your success with growing from seed will depend on four factors: (1) the specific microclimate of your growing space, (2) the time that you choose to plant your seeds, (3) the viability of the seeds, and (4) your experience with growing a particular seed type. We publish these on our Instagram account and link them here below, month by month. To get these updates emailed to you, subscribe to our newsletter, SEED TAPE.
