We do not encourage this, primarily because the young trees will need to be weeded for the first 3 years. This entails the spraying off of all vegetation from around the base of the tree to allow unhindered growth. There are also issues regarding the woodland ecology; many flower species will be inappropriate in a native wood.

Our bulbs occasionally arrive early from Europe. Our customers with warmer weather should wait until late in September or early October to plant them (when the ground cools off). Soil temperature below 60 degrees is a good rule of thumb. Store them in your garage or basement. Any place with cool (50-60 degrees F) with good air circulation with do.

Not without a permit. Please contact the South Park Ranger District in Fairplay for more information 719 836-2031.

A minimum of 5 Tulips or Narcissus and at least 10 of the smaller bulbs should be planted together. You can, of course, always plant more than that together. Just keep your spacing in mind as well.

Jean Z - I have just bought trumpet daffodils, mixed crocus, and various colored tulips....can someone please advise me on when I should plant these bulbs. Skip MNZ4 - In Zone 7, you can start planting in mid-October. Tulips can be planted late in the season, as long as the soil can be worked. Here in Zone 4 I have planted tulips at the end of November, with snow on the ground. D. Schuman - Everything except the tulips can go in as soon as it is available in the stores...(mid Sept.

Yes. However, you are responsible for keeping them weeded and cared for. Blair Ridge will not be responsible for personal flower gardens / beds.

Yes, this is the most important thing to do to ensure good blooms. Bulbs start to form roots right after planting and water is very important to get them started. Also, water the bulbs when it has been dry for a long period of time.

s swoboda - I have a variety of bulbs from hyacinths to daffodils to allums. I'm very excited but nervous about planting. I've been told to plant up to 18 inches deep up here in Maine even if the package says 5 inches. can anyone Help me, please. Skip MNZ4 - As was said in one of Shakespeare's plays, "We come to plant the bulbs, not bury them". 18 inches is way too deep and 10 inches is getting to the outer limit as well.

Skip MNZ4 - You have 8 inches of good soil in Zone 5 so I would think you could plant the bulbs at 6, maybe 7, inches. The problem is not that tulips won't do well in clay but it's that the clay underlayment acts as a barrier to good drainage and if you have really wet conditions this may, indeed, lead to rotting of the bulbs. The Hyacinths can go in at the same depth as the tulips while the Muscari can go in at 5 inches.

Plant them in September. Just a suggestion... It's nice to plant clusters of bulbs (3, 5, etc.), as you will get a better show in the Spring. Soil should be amended with peat moss. Heavy clay soil in the Winter holds water. This will make your bulbs rot. Just a suggestion... Don't plant your bulbs near your annuals, as too much watering will rot the bulbs.

Attend a Tree Planting Demonstration to learn how to plant a tree to Our City Forest standards. This is required before receiving your tree from us. Step-by-step guidelines are also available here. OCF will assess planting sites approximately one week after the tree is planted. If the tree is not planted properly, we may ask that the tree be dug out and replanted.

This depends on the stage of the drought. During a Stage 1 or Stage 2 you can plant. Many annuals and perennials require less water than a bluegrass lawn. You can hand water or use gray water between your normal watering days if needed to establish the plants. Be sure to choose water wise or drought resistant plants and group them by their sunlight and water needs.

You should always review your community’s Rules and Regulations and your Association’s Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R’s) prior to making any exterior modifications to your home. Most of the time, if you are in a single family home and you own and maintain the area where you are contemplating installing seasonal or perennial flowering plants, you may be able to proceed.

Ideally, spring is best for planting, but only after the last frost occurs. Soil temperature should be about 65 degrees when planting.

The Forest Service "Plant-A-Tree" Program permits individuals and groups to donate money for planting trees on National Forests. The trees may be planted to memorialize loved ones or to commemorate special events such as births, weddings, or anniversaries. For a suggested minimum donation of $10, which pays for 10-15 seedlings, donors receive a certificate acknowledging their gift. If desired, the name of the person in whose honor the donation is made will appear on the certificate.

The trees will be 2 year old, 40- 60cms transplants. This is the size conventionally supplied by forest nurseries for woodland planting schemes as they transplant most successfully. Native broadleaves that are indigenous to the area will be planted, usually oak, ash or birch.

The collection database is on the computer in the FOSA office. A staff member can help search under the scientific or common name, and the database provides coordinates that refer to the grid map location.

First, dig an oversized hole, generally twice the width and the depth of the plant. Fill hole partially with peat moss and topsoil. Place the shrub or tree in prepared hole. Back fill with remaining soil, bringing the top of the hole and the top of the ball of the shrub or tree level. Second, tamp down after filling the hole and water thoroughly to remove air pockets that might have formed during planting. Third, mulch around the new planting with 2-3" of fresh mulch.
