Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to figure out your garden schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

A way of getting a good idea when it's the best time to plant sagina is to examine the USDA zone info for Burnet.

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. Starting your sagina indoors is a great way to get them started a few weeks earlier.
