The USDA Zone info is a great tool for gardeners to help us figure out your gardening schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

It's a good idea to determine when you can plant alternaria by checking out the USDA zone info for Sachse.

Since alternaria are not cold tolerant it is important to wait until after the last frost before you can plant them.

The last month that you can plant alternaria and expect a good harvest is probably August. If you wait any later than that and your alternaria may not have a chance to really do well. If you are starting your alternaria indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a few weeks earlier.
