Although you can plant anytime, there is usually a lot of extra TLC needed
at this time of year. If it is hot (like it is today in NYC), plants go
through tremendous stress.

I would wait till spring. You could do it in the fall if you can't wait
until spring. In the meantime, it would be a good time to prep the soil. I
think adding ammendments, tilling them in (by hand or machine), then letting
the bed sit until spring would be the way to go.

We have a small gargae type building in urban NYC... and next to it is a
plot of land(part of the property) which gets a lot of sun. We're
converting the garge to resedentail/studio space and would LOVE to
landscape the empty land. (it's about 60 feet x 20 feet)... with some
trees, shrubs..bit of grass etc.
QUESTION. can you begin a landscasping project like this in late JULY...
or do we have to wait till next SPRING?

thanx for suggestions!!
