Growing Season in Northeastern PA

Frost Dates Set the Framework for Planting at Bedrock Gardens

Growing season in Northeastern PA usually starts in late April or early May after the last frost. It ends in October when cooler nights bring the first freeze. In Hazleton, Scranton, and surrounding areas, use this window to plan your garden and install new plants safely.

Soil Temperature Signals When to Plant Warm-Season Crops

Wait until soil temperatures reach 60°F to plant vegetables like tomatoes and peppers. Northeastern PA typically hits that mark in mid-May. Bedrock Gardens stocks quality soils, compost, and mulch to help your garden thrive.

Use Cold-Hardy Plants to Extend the Season

Cool-season flowers and vegetables such as pansies, kale, and spinach tolerate early spring and late fall temperatures. Add these varieties early or late in the season to make the most of the Northeastern PA climate.

Rainfall and Sunlight Drive Growth in Summer

June through August brings long daylight hours and steady rainfall—ideal for lawns, flowerbeds, and vegetable gardens. At Bedrock Gardens, we carry the materials you need to support rapid summer growth, from mulch to nutrient-rich topsoil.
