Beginner gardeners don't know if it's too late to start planting before winter arrives

New gardeners face decision paralysis when they discover gardening as a hobby but are unsure about seasonal timing constraints. They lack clear guidance on what can actually be planted in their specific climate zone before winter, leading to wasted money on seeds/plants that won't survive or missed growing opportunities. Existing resources are either too generic, location-agnostic, or scattered across multiple sources.
