It's probably a bad idea to plant alternaria until after the last frost has passed because they do not do well in cold weather.

The earliest that you can plant alternaria in Saraland is April. However, you really should wait until May if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant alternaria and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your alternaria may not have a chance to really do well. Starting your alternaria indoors is a great way to get them started a little bit earlier.
