Hello. Planting is best done according to the zone planting guide. What this means is that each region of the country is in a specific zone. For instance, in the south tomatoes can be planted a lot sooner than in the north. So, you would know when to plant in your specific area by looking at the planting guide for your location. I have attached the guide here for your convenience. Click on the link below to find which zone you are in and which vegetables can be planted at various times of the year. Good luck!

Check your zones, as Janet suggested. You could also check with local master gardeners. Here in the southeast, we wait until after Easter. Good luck!
It would all depend on what zone/climate you are in
