One of the first steps you take when you are figuring out your gardening schedule is find your 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.

One way of figuring out when it's possible to plant sagina is to check out the USDA zone info for Sharon.

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 do ok in moderate cold you can plant them slightly earlier in the year than plants that are more sensitive to the cold.

The earliest that you can plant sagina in Sharon 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 fully mature. 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

The average date of last frost is April 15 in Sharon. You can expect an average low temperature of -10°F in the coldest months of winter.

Remember that the actual date of last frost may not be accurate from year to year because it is based on the USDA zone info for Sharon and it is different every year. Half of the time in Sharon it frosts late in the year after April 15 so be sure to be ready to protect your sagina in the event of a surprise late frost.
