M...Enchanted Rock is a fun place, enjoy the climb. Medina Garden Nursery is worth a side trip if you are in the area.<br /><br />For planting information I follow the recommendations of our Extension Service and other local experts. Fall is the best time to plant here because it gives time for the roots to establish through the winter. Planting in the spring is tougher because you never know when the heat will hit. This past May I lost several new plants because we got hot too fast.<br /><br />Our average first frost is November 24th so I count back about six weeks. I'm pushing it a bit to get a lot done in the new gardens this year. If the roots are established the plants will properly harden as it gets progressively colder. Even though we have a few cold nights early, we rarely get much freezing weather until January so that's plenty of time.<br /><br />Since you are colder up there, best to check with your Extension service for recommended planting times.Shirley Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734806779997587008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-68793732280583452252012-10-23T15:30:28.872-05:002012-10-23T15:30:28.872-05:00Great place for native plants!

The Cowpen Daisies are going nuts in Freestone County, too. I know this is a good time to plant, but would you elaborate as to why? And, if it is in the blog, point out the post? I have a huge new north facing area and need to fill it properly. The beds are ready and mulched.stienerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185632332009295517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-55624340191180528092012-10-23T09:25:10.664-05:002012-10-23T09:25:10.664-05:00Looks like a great nursery!
