That depends what you mean. When plants "go to seed" on their own at the end of a growing season, the seeds winter over (the previous response incorrectly indicated the seeds could not survive the winter) and sprout in the spring when the conditions are right. So, yes, you could theoretically set out seeds in the fall. But freezes, thaws, and precipitation would mean they'd get moved around and come up in random places, if at all. In some regions, the winters are mild enough that you can plant seeds and the young plants will stay alive through the winter, really taking off in the spring. If you live in a mild climate, there are some perennial marigolds (though they're uncommon) that can do this, but none of them are 'hardy perennials' capable of surviving a real winter. In fact, the majority of marigolds are annuals that are only meant to live one season, produce seeds, and die. If you're in a temperate or cool climate you'd be better off starting your seeds in the spring. If tropical, you've got more options, but learn about perennial versus annual marigolds.

Why do frogs burrow in the ground in the fall?
Frogs and Toads need to hibernate to escape the winter so they dig into the ground up to 3 feet down to avoid the frost during the winter. Some frogs try to find a deep enough body of water that wont completely freeze solid and they can hibernate under the ice. Toads on the other hand will always dig into the ground and are great at digging. It's all to prepare for hibernation because insects don't come out during the winter so there's no food for toads and frogs. They start preparing to find a place during the fall.

How do seasons affect plants flowering in the spring?
The seasons affect flowering plants by giving them a time to rest in fall and winter with colder temperatures and less light. In the spring, the amount of daylight increases as do temperatures. The Sun heats the ground, the seeds in the ground, and the plants, so they produce the chemicals and energy they need to grow.
