Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to figure out your garden schedule. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

One way of getting a good idea when to plant sagina is to refer to the USDA zone info for Fairmont.

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. You can get started a little bit earlier by starting your sagina indoors.
