I have no idea what kc-36 is. Afghan I do grow. It would sure depend on where you are to start an outdoor grow now. I would pretty much rule out any northern areas to start outside now. I am on latitude 36.42. Or there abouts. I would not start anything outdoors for several months. Go buy the next edition of the 'Old Farmers Almanac'. Lots of good planting info in there. Planting seasons and growing guides. Vegetables and fruit but. it also works for this!
