One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us figure out 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 Clarinda you can estimate when to plant sagina by reviewing 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 do ok in moderate cold which tells us that you can get them planted just a bit earlier than plants that are more sensitive to the cold.

The earliest that you can plant sagina in Clarinda 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 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 really do well. Starting your sagina indoors is a great way to get them started a little bit earlier.

Last Frost Date

In Clarinda the average date of last frost happens on April 15. It might get as low as -15°F during the coldest months of winter.

Since the USDA zone info for Clarinda is just an average the actual date of last frost can change quite a bit from year to year. Half of the time in Clarinda you get a frost after April 15 so be sure to be ready to cover your sagina in the event of one of those late frosts.
