One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us figure out your gardening schedule is the USDA zone info. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

A way of estimating when you can plant stoneseed is to refer to the USDA zone info for Spring Hill.

It's a bad idea to plant stoneseed until after the last frost when the weather gets warmer because they do not do well in cold weather.

The earliest that you can plant stoneseed in Spring Hill 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 stoneseed and expect a good harvest is probably August. If you wait any later than that and your stoneseed may not have a chance to fully mature. If you are starting your stoneseed indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a little bit earlier.
