Who's planting?
I'm about to transplant a few crape myrtles from my shady yard to
a place that gets more sun. I've heard this is one of the best times to transplant, or to put in new plantings. Then again, there's the drought to consider. Anyone else planting, or are you waiting to see what happens this summer? MAC |

If you are going to do it, I would say now is the time to transplant,
yes. As for the drought. Who knows. Your transplanted trees will definitely need a little watering the first summer. Got a rain barrel? That's one way to get some essential watering done without wasting water in this shortage.

Got a rain
barrel? I have two, and I'm thinking of getting more. Nothing beats free water, especially now. doctoroe wrote: If you are going to do it, I would say now is the time to transplant, yes.

When that happens it is time to plant early stuff, re-seed the small patch of grass, etc....... |

I have been using them for years. Jo |
