Should i plant fowers now?
Since you are in Kentucky, the threat of freezing temps is

not as great as it is, here in Chicago(where I live). If you

do put plants in, see what the weather forecast is going to

be that night, then make sure you place a lot of mulch that

is natual covering ( IN THE DAYTIME ) so it is warmed by the

Sun. Then should it get toward the freezing mark, the warmed

mulch will keep your "baby" plants protected. You can also

place newspapers weighed-down with bricks,etc if you are

really concerned that the mulch will not be enough. This will work all the time---it has for me. When the daylight

warms the air enough, take the newspapers off(KEEP MULCH ON)---helps keep moisture in the soil.

ALSO USE MIRACLE GROW---THIS STUFF W O R K S !!!

WHEN YOU USE THE ABOVE M G(FEED %26amp; WATER AT THE SAME TIME THRU, USING YOUR HOSE) DO THIS AT NIGHT SO THE HOT SUN IN

THE LATE SPRING %26amp; INTO THE SUMMER WILL NOT BURN-OFF THE

NUTRIENTS---NIGHT-TIME IS BEST !!!

Reply:After April 15 it should be ok.
Reply:If you are starting them out from seeds you can start them inside to get then growing then by the time they are big enough to plant it should be warm enough.

Reply:Is it still raining? If it stops raining, then it is the perfect time!
Reply:watch out for frost, If your likely to still get some hold off as frost will kill new plants
Reply:Each area has its specific zone--and you go by what zone you are in as far as planting annuals,and when to do it.Call a local garden center,and ask them.I am in northern Ohio,zone 5,so I have to wait till early May!I have already planted some pansies,though...they are tough and can handle low temps.Happy gardening!
Reply:It all depends on what you want to plant, i say ask the place you bought the plants from, or just read the directions that usually come with the plants, seed packs ect.
Reply:depends on the weather. i would wait until the middle/end of spring, that way, there is a big possibility there wont be anymore frosts.
Reply:Best time to plant is mothers day
