I would suggest approximately, about two weeks before the beginning of spring. My zone is different, but I don't know how close you are located to the Atlantic Ocean, which helps moderates the temperature here. I used water from the hose, that had been warmed by the sun, which already had some water in it, prior to turning on the spigot..Then quickly directed at that area where sown, once germination was first observed starting..(They germinate a bit slowly.)
