I assume you are referring to the Northern Plains of which I have little knowledge of in terms of gardening. I would guess your growing season is rather short, but these seed should be fine when compared to any other type seed. I am in the mid Atlantic Zone and have not had any problems other than I think my season is too short for full size watermelons although I do have some nice small ones. I am using US weather zones from Harris Farmer's Almanac for reference as to zones (page 75 in the 2014 edition) Hope this helps

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

When you don't have any more cold/frost at night. Here in Ct., I put my seedlings in end of April, beginning of May. It's a good head start on what you put in your garden.

the seeds are very small, and you can't start them in the ground until after the last frost has passed, so depending on where you are , it's probably better to start them in a pot

It depends on what part of the contry you are in. I plant mine in spring after danger of frost.

I planted mine 2 months ago, and had no problems with seeds. They are in my garden growing now. I only received a few seeds that did not bloom. Just make sure you germinate them properly.

I am yet to find out. I have delayed in planting because I have been experiencing really weird weather for the past 7 months. I was hoping to plant this month (Jan 2014) but with the very wet weather, the plants may not even grow and I do want to maximize the potential for them to sprout (if they are viable). As soon as I have a response - positive or negative (and hopefully in the next two months) I will post it. My sincere apologies.

you have enough seed to do both. use about a fourth of the seed each time. this gives you the opportunity to plant several times

This is designed to be applied AFTER the Japanese beetles have laid their eggs in the soil and their invasion has subsided. That is around late July in Upstate NY but may vary in your warmer climate. The IMPORTANT thing is that it gets soaked into the soil after it is put on the lawn. This means a good watering or preferably before a soaking rain. The hatching grubs will eat the spore, it'll multiply in their carcesses and multiple many times over killing successive generations of grubs.

The seed packet should have directions regarding how deep to plant the seed. Some seeds need only a sprinkling of dirt on top, others are best buried 1/2 inch or deeper. Just depends on what you are planting. And then of course, water them generously (but don't drown them) and put them in a sunny window as soon as the seeds start sprouting.

I'm in zone 9--planted in July which was late, but they grew and produced. Probably early spring when planting other things would be good.

I do one application before tilling and planting, and if the plants show any bad signs upon sprouting, after 3rd or 4th leaves, I may do another application. Hope that helps!

Yes!!! I planted last year and veggies turned out wonderful. It comes with instructions on "How To" get the seeds for the next planting season. I did the tomatoes and I've already got them started in my seed starter greenhouse. I'll be planting them next month. Other veggies planned for this year. It's a great way to multiply your seed stocks.

I would till, fertilize, and plant then right after apply the nematodes. Being that you have to pour water over the newly planted seeds to rid the ground of air pockets, its a good opportunity to start the nematodes at the same time. They started to work the very next day after i applied. Two days later, the gnats were completely gone and they havent come back. What you can also do is get some "gnat stix" to help get rid of or ward off gnats that are adults.

I started cool weather seeds this week (lettuce,spinach,peas). I'll start other plants probably next week. I watch how cold it will get overnight. If it stays above 32, I figure most seeds will be ok. By the time the little shoots have started coming up, it will be staying warmer at night. I'll bring in geraniums and pansies in the next week or two. I've been in the greenhouse the past few evenings and it is still pretty warm. I always go by Zone 4 for Colo. And I always try to pick perennials that are native to this area. You can't go wrong with any of them. They take the cold weather better. It's always trial and error with these little grow house. Good luck and thanks for asking! I started cool weather seeds this week (lettuce,spinach,peas). I'll start other plants probably next week. I watch how cold it will get overnight.

Love my banana tree!!! I would recommend waiting to plant until later this spring- maybe late April when warmer temps are more consistent. This is a very fast growing plant so you'll have a beautiful plant in no time! I'm in MO and I cover mine with a heavy layer of mulch & they weather the winter beautifully!
