Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to figure out 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.

The best time to plant sagina in Lake Forest should be figured out by reviewing the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Sagina

Frost tolerance for sagina:	Tolerant of a very small amount of frost.

Since sagina are barely cold tolerant you can plant them slightly earlier in the year than plants that are more sensitive to the cold.

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