One of the first steps you take when you are estimating your gardening schedule is find your USDA Zone info. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Glendale you can estimate when it's the best time to plant millet by referring to the USDA zone info.

It's probably a bad idea to plant millet until after the last frost has passed because they are not cold tolerant.

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

The last month that you can plant millet and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your millet may not have a chance to fully mature. If you are starting your millet indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a couple of weeks earlier.
