Can I plant my Swan Hill Olive® in a lawn area?

Swan Hill Nurseries
Yes. Swan Hill Olives® can be planted in both lawn and desert adapted landscape design. Olives, in general, do not tolerate saturated soils (wet feet), especially within the first 6 to 12 months following transplantation (See Planting and Maintenance). Plant trees so that the soil line in the box is slightly above the final grade. This will insure that water will drain away from the tree in the event of over watering or heavy rains.

When my Paph plant becomes multigrowth, can I divide it? When is the best time to divide it?

PAPHIOPEDILUM: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The choice over whether to divide large plants really depends on your growing goals and situation. You may wish to grow the plant into a larger 'specimen plant' that will produce larger and more flowers reliably, or you may want to produce divisions for trade or sale if the plant is in demand. Because most of our plants 'work by producing seed, we are very hesitant to divide them unless they fall apart at a division point when they are repotted.

How do you plant on the side of a hill?

Your Backyard Garden & Gardening FAQ's
Very carefully, or your garden will wash away. We call it contour planting: the rows follow the curve around the hill, not up and down the slope. Mountain? gardens should have about a 5-degree slope to the southeast. Absolutely; I never give it a thought. I use salad greens, spinach, mustard, lettuce, and red cabbage as borders in front of evergreens while growing pole beans up my downspouts near my roses, and I mix carrots and parsnips with marigolds as sidewalk borders.

When is the best time to plant?

Garden design by Lesley Keck
Autumn and spring are much the best times for planting trees, shrubs, roses and herbaceous perennials when the ground is moist but not saturated. Ensure that the root ball of plants have been well soaked with water prior to planting. Make sure that the plants receive a good supply of water throughout their first year and water well in subsequent years during periods of drought. Evergreens should be planted in the early spring when the ground is still damp.

Successful planting can take place any time of the year; however, there are advantages and disadvantages to every season. Fall and winter planting require less watering and are less stressful on plants due to the fact that plants are entering dormancy. The availability of some types of plants, such as trees, is also at its peak in fall and winter. The warmer ground and wet weather of spring are also ideal for planting.

When is the best time to plant herbs?

FAQs
In our climate, you can plant herbs year round, keeping in mind that summer can be hard on any plant if they are not given proper care and water. Some do better at different times however. For instance, dill, cilantro, chervil, and most greens (such as arugula and mustard) are cool season plants and do best when planted in fall, winter, or early spring. They will not tolerate the heat of our summers.

When's the best time to plant trees?

John Shelley's Garden Center & Nursery, Inc.
In either early Spring or throughout the Fall. The reason is that the soil temperature is low and the tree's roots can easily acclimate to the new soil where it will live for the rest of its life without stress. It takes about 30-45 days for a tree to root-in and begin living on its own without the additional care required to sustain its life. If a drought would occur, a minimum of 25 gallons or 1" of water would be required per tree per week to keep them alive.

What is the best time of year to plant?

Most tree planting for reforestation is done when seedlings are dormant and rainfall is frequent, that is, between December and April. Later planting can put your seedlings at risk because they can be exposed to warm temperatures before their roots have been settled into the soil by a good rain. Under some circumstances it may be desirable to plant in the early fall. This requires a containerized seedling that has been cultured for early shipment.

How often should I water my Swan Hill Olive®?

Swan Hill Nurseries
There are no hard and fast rules on tree irrigation schedules. How often you irrigate will depend on the age of the tree (freshly transplant versus established/mature), soil type, water penetration rates, under story plantings and their irrigation schedules and water drainage from other areas of the site (rain water from roof, general site drainage, hardscape elements), to name a few. See our Planting and Maintenance page for information on post installation irrigation.

When is the best time to plant grass seed?

Fertilforce- Q & A
Grass seed can be planted in either spring or fall. However, fall is the best time because the ground is warm and there is less weed competition. By far the best time is late August to mid-September. This allows time for the seed to germinate and grow, for the grass to be cut once, and for an application of fertilizer to be applied before the first hard frost.
