No, if you set the above growing zone to USA 9B ( or whatever country you are in) then it says, a. Start seeds indoors in January, transplant in March or place seeds in ground outdoors February/March. It gets too cold in October. And we in AZ in 9B get frost. If you go to Phoenix Backyard Gardening on FB, they might know more.
