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.

In Aurora you can figure out when it's the best time to plant sagina by looking at 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.

Since sagina are barely cold tolerant you can plant them a bit earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant sagina in Aurora 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. 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 couple of weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

In Aurora the average date of last frost happens on April 15. It might get as low as -10°F during the coldest months of winter.

Remember that the actual date of last frost is not always accurate because it is based on the USDA zone info for Aurora and it is different every year. Half of the time in Aurora last frost occurs after April 15 so always be ready to cover your sagina in the event of one of those late frosts.
