  • Onions
  • peas
  • spinach

Early spring

  • lettuce
  • beets
  • carrots
  • radishes
  • dill
  • cilantro
  • cabbage
  • broccoli
  • celery

  • potatoes

After last frost date

  • beans
  • corn
  • melons
  • cucumbers
  • squash
  • tomatoes
  • peppers
  • pumpkins

Looks like 1st week of May would be the last frost date for the Springfield, MO area.
Check your frost date by going to the NCDC website. Select your state, and then find the city closest to you.

Here is the MU Vegetable Planting Calendar. Thanks Kim!
