In Jamestown you can estimate when it's possible to plant stocks by referring to the USDA zone info.

When to plant:	Up to 3 weeks before last frost.

You can plant stocks slightly earlier in the year because they are barely cold tolerant.

The earliest that you can plant stocks in Jamestown 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 stocks and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your stocks may not have a chance to really do well. If you are starting your stocks indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a little bit earlier.
