One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us determine your gardening schedule is the USDA zone info. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Satsuma you can determine when to plant stoneseed by reviewing the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Stoneseed

Frost tolerance for stoneseed:	Not tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	After the last frost.

It's not a good idea to plant stoneseed until after the last frost when the weather gets warmer because they do not do well in cold weather.

The earliest that you can plant stoneseed in Satsuma 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 stoneseed and expect a good harvest is probably August. Any later than that and your stoneseed may not have a chance to really do well. You can get started a couple of weeks earlier by starting your stoneseed indoors.

Since the USDA zone info for Satsuma is not always accurate the actual date of last frost will vary from year to year. Since half of the time in Satsuma last frost occurs after March 15 be ready to protect your stoneseed if you have one of those late frosts.
