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 Vail you can estimate when it's possible to plant sagina by referring to the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Sagina

Frost tolerance for sagina:	Tolerant of a very small amount of frost.
When to plant:	Up to 3 weeks before last frost.

Sagina tend to make it in mild cold which tells us that you can plant them slightly earlier in the year than plants that are more sensitive to the cold.

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

Last Frost Date

The average date of last frost is May 15 in Vail. You should expect an average low temperature of -25°F in the coldest months of winter.

It's important to remember that the actual date of last frost is an average because it is based on the USDA zone info for Vail and it can change quite a bit from year to year. Half of the time in Vail last frost occurs after May 15 so make sure that you are prepared to protect your sagina in the event of a surprise late frost.
