Pre-Planting
Care
When you get your purchases
home, unload the car, pick up your mail and let the dog out (we
don't want to neglect Spot). There may be no time to get the new
plants into their new container homes.
If you are pressed for
time, place the plants in a shaded area outdoors, water them gently
and thoroughly and keep them cool and moist until the planting can
go forward. It's important to place them where they won't be tipped
over by animals (maybe you should have kept Spot indoors), chewed
by insects or night visitors, or stepped on by a careless foot!
Try to plant them as
soon as possible, however, for the longer they wait in their nursery
pots the more adjusting they'll have to do in your container.
