One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us determine your gardening schedule is the USDA zone info. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Idabel you can figure out when to plant oxalis by using the USDA zone info.

Frost tolerance for oxalis:	Not tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	After the last frost.

You should not plant oxalis until after the last frost because they require warm weather.

The last month that you can plant oxalis and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your oxalis may not have a chance to grow to maturity. If you are starting your oxalis indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a little bit earlier.
