Zone 4. Hardiness zone 4: lowest average temperatures of -30°F to -20°F or -34.4°C to -28.9°C.
Vegetable Gardening in Zone 3
Both fresh organic produce and herbs can be grown in zone 3 from May through to the middle of October provided the gardener has selected cool weather varieties and gives the crops protection from frost.
Planting. Start tomatoes from seeds indoors, five to six weeks before planting outside. In most of Minnesota, this is mid-April.
Cool season vegetables such as leaf lettuce, spinach, radishes and onion sets may be planted outdoors as soon as the soil is dry enough to work. Snapdragons, bachelor buttons and sweet pea seed can be planted outside in April as well.
Use a soil thermometer and sow seeds after the last frost date, once soil temperatures are at least 70° F at the two-inch depth. In most of Minnesota, this will be sometime in late May, or early June in the north.
Wait until after the last frost (mid-to-late May) before transplanting tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, summer squash, basil and similar “warm season” crops. Warm season crops need a long growing season. They will not mature if seeded directly in the garden.
