Vegetable Variety Recommendations
In Louisiana, something can be planted every day of the year. See our planting guide at: Louisiana Vegetable Planting Guide.
The recommendation chart should serve as a guide for selecting the best vegetable varieties for planting in your home gardens. These varieties have been tested and are best suited for our climate and soils.
