When Do I Plant Certain Seeds? Cant Figure Map out on back of Seed Packets.?

So I did a Little Research and Found out about Different Zones. I used the Zone Finder on some National Gardening Association Website… I think that was the name. I typed in my Zip Code and found out I am Zone 8b. My Question is. On the back of Seed Packets theres a Small Map which I cant Read and Range of When to plant the Seeds. There are 4 Colors. Yellow, Blue, Pink, and Green. How do I know which one to go by?

Each brand of seeds may have thier own color codes..if you look at the usda zone map your area will be an olive colored drab green..I have some seed packets that show blue for my zone which is zone 8b also..northwest Florida..I will give you a month by month growing chart here that pertians to my part of florida..as long as your in 8b zone also..as I mentioned I am too… you will be fine to follow this chart..It tells you month by month..I have just started setting out my cauliflower and broccoli now from seedlings I start indoors under lights..It is still well in the 90’s here and they are doing fine..

Anywhere from northeast florida,lower georgia,lower alabama,lower mississippi,lower louisiana, all the way over to the panhandle of texas into parts of Old mexico can go by this chart I have given..notice the darkest olive green on this chart..this is 8b and will work with the chart I gave,,

Cauliflower, broccoli,cabbage,greens,and many other veggies are winter veggies..but you start the seedlings now in your zone..they will grow all winter well into spring…They love cold weather
