When is the best time of the year for sowing?

You can sow in either spring or fall or both. Fall sowing will come up with the early spring rains before it's warm enough for you to want to go outside and do it by hand. :D

In Houston, TX the best time to plant trees is in the winter. The roots have a chance to establish before the tree has to support leaves.

I am waiting til Spring to plant, I have no idea. If you have have high winds and very cold winters I would put in sheltered environment or greenhouse.

I usuallly seed in the fall, but did it in early April this year. The grass started to come up in about 14 days and looks great.

We are in Ohio mostly Zone 5, but unless your growing season is short - these should do fine in zone 4. I even have watermelons and pumpkins right now. We can also start our seeds in our greenhouse as of this past spring so that helps.

Go online to see what growing zone your in and it will tell you when to plant. Hope this helps.

If you have planted them last season they are usually harvested in the winter months initially. After they are established you should be able to harvest year round as you need them. They will only store refrigerated for a few days so only harvest what you will use immediately, leave the rest stored underground and growing.

Here in Florida I plant them in the spring and then they are harvested in the fall or winter. They die down and then come back up.

Alfalfa seeds have various usages. From your question it appears that you are looking to sow it as a crop rather than sprout it, if so you can plant it in the spring or the fall depending on your climate. Typically where we have "winter" and frost goes into the ground one should simply plant in the spring. Yet if you live somewhere where there is little ground frost and a moist enough fall you can sow it in the fall. The main thing to be concerned about is that you have at least 8 weeks before any frost so that the plants get enough root developed to hardy over the winter. If planting a small area you can cover the are with straw to protect it over the winter. Hope This Helps! rcc Alfalfa seeds have various usages.

We used it this year in an area with NO grass- planted in March and reseeded a few weeks ago and it is full and soft and green! Just be sure to water a lot :) Good luck!

Not sure what zone you live in. I would plant when grass starts to green up.

Depends where you live. If you get snow, leave it until spring. Otherwise it should work but it needs to build heat to bresk down the leaves. Above 40 degrees for sure.

I was told that in the fall is the best time. The recurring vegetation is trying to collect nutrients to last the winter, so it takes it down to the roots to store.

I would wait until Spring or better yet Summer, when the nut sedge are visible. I did it in the late summer and it worked.

I had great results planting this product in the middle of March but I'm in Central Oregon so not sure of best planting date in Texas.

I live in the RGV of Texas. I only have a home garden but am planning to attempt to gropw a little in a bucket this fall. Not even corn in the fields is growing well with the heat we have had this summer. Last winter was cold. I'll let you know.

It depends on what you will use the seeds for, if they are to eat you should pick them when they are green and young and tender, if you want to plant them you should wait until they are dry and brown.
