Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to estimate your garden schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Laguna Woods you can estimate when to plant lovage by referring to the USDA zone info.

The last month that you can plant lovage and expect a good harvest is probably September. Any later than that and your lovage may not have a chance to fully mature. If you are starting your lovage indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a couple of weeks earlier.
