Transplanting question
I have some xeriscape plants in the back I want to put in the front.
Little bluestem, big muhly, maybe some agave. Is this a good time of year, if it stops raining long enough for me to do it? |

I would wait for the first hard freeze to put them into dormancy, but there is little risk of doing it now - maybe even a good idea. They might have a month to set up roots - but I would not fertilize them, especially with nitrogen. Rusty Mase |
Transplanting question
Howdy folks,
There is a nice trick with transplanting that I've used for some years. A few weeks before I plan to move a shrub or Rose, I take a sharp spade and sever straight down in a through the soil, in a circle the size that I am comfortable to move as a root ball. This way the roots start re growing while the plant is still protected in the soil. When I come back later to lift the root ball I have some nice feeder roots already started and I get less transplant shock. Everyone enjoy this great weather here in Austin.
