Against the frost risk in Ciudad Apodaca
Why these dates
Sow direct at the last frost date and every three weeks after for leaves. For seed, sow once early enough to allow ninety days before the first frost.
Seedlings tolerate a light frost to about -3C; the seed crop needs a frost-free finish.
Seed packets and extension guides express timing as weeks either side of the last spring frost, because that is the only reference point that travels. Fenugreek are timed for direct sowing 0 weeks after it, and this page simply resolves those offsets against the frost date computed for Ciudad Apodaca.
The median frost-free season here is 336 days, against 30 to 90 days to maturity for this crop counted from sowing. That margin is what decides whether a late sowing is worth attempting.
