I have some bare flower beds ... it is too early to plant???

I also have a sago palm that needs to be transplanted (girth is starting to
block a walkway)... is there a best time to do this?

Depends on what you have in mind. A bit late for the winter annuals and too
early for most of the summer ones. Great time for perennials of any kind.

Best done in the heat of the summer.

Thanks for the information Cliff.

Why summer on the sago palm? isnt that a bit harsh for the plant?
thanks,

All I can tell you is a local plant expert and radio show host, Bob Webster,
here in San Antonio has always recommended transplanting only in the warm
weather. You can talk to him at 210-824-3772, his nursery here in town.
If you have a potted plant where you have all the roots it is not so
critical. I would guess that they are practically dormant now and as they
don't seem to have a big root system that it is better when the conditions
are more conducive to new growth. Any way it works for me.

You may want to get a second opinion. Most experts recommend
transplanting in the winter or very early spring. Transplanting in the
summer just seems like a really bad idea, too much stress for the plants
and the gardeners!
