Unfortunately this is a deficiency in the date scale - there's no way to manually set the breaks. It's on my to do list to fix, but I'm currently working on some bigger things like a decent theming/customisation system and a rewrite of the faceting code so it may be a while before I get to it. Currently, your only option is to do something like this: g <- ggplot(df, aes(as.numeric(Date), var, min=(var - err), max=(var + err))) ... g + scale_x_continuous(breaks = as.numeric(Period), labels = Period) Does that help?
