Live in New York City. Would like to purchase for our community garden. When is best time to order/place in garden?

They arrived within a week of ordering, so you'll want to wait until after any danger of frost has passed; when lows at night are 50 or above, ideally. Once they arrive, wait until dusk to release them. That way, they will settle in your garden to sleep instead of flying away.

I am not sure...I know that ladybugs are hard to get when it is too hot. When you read the information about the ladybugs it does say it is good when there is food for the ladybugs. I will tell you that the experience of releasing the ladybugs with children is an awesome experience.

Whne I read about it, I think it can be either. Mine's on the outside deck right now (and growing really well) but in my area, I will be bringing it inside for the winter months. Don't know how that will go as I've never had a gardenia before.

Mine still need a lot of watering to stay healthy(2 or 3 times a week & they are 3 months old), so if your sprinklers outside are running I would say yes. Depending on where you live, I would wait until spring when the snow is gone. I contacted the sellers about shipping in the winter time and they answered my question within days....so try contacting them...they would have the best answer. Hardy Basjoo Banana Plant - Musa basjoo. Amazing "hardy tropical" banana for the north or south, though native to the Ryukyu Archipelago which lies between Japan and Taiwan, Musa basjoo is also very common in parts of China. This specimen will survive temperatures as low as -20 if mulched. Full sun with lots of water & fertilizer to achieve the amazing growth rate, but it will do fine in light shade as well. Beautiful deep green clump can grow up to 18' tall or more, and really gives a tropical warm sunny feeling. Great for any place in the garden, especially great around pools or patios, courtyards and wonderful in a border with other colorful perennials & grasses.

Follow the almanac as to when to plant. I do small alternating trays for juicing.

I wouldn't wait too much longer if you want to enjoy them for the summer. Mine are about 2-3 inches now and it takes 3-4 weeks for them to start coming up. I start mine in a raised garden bed then transplant them. I was sad the ones I planted last summer didn't come back. Maybe because of the harsh winter we had in NC. I lost other perennials as well. These are beautiful plants. Last year I planted them really late because I ordered them late. They still came up.

I started cool weather seeds this week (lettuce,spinach,peas). I'll start other plants probably next week. I watch how cold it will get overnight. If it stays above 32, I figure most seeds will be ok. By the time the little shoots have started coming up, it will be staying warmer at night. I'll bring in geraniums and pansies in the next week or two. I've been in the greenhouse the past few evenings and it is still pretty warm. I always go by Zone 4 for Colo. And I always try to pick perennials that are native to this area. You can't go wrong with any of them. They take the cold weather better. It's always trial and error with these little grow house. Good luck and thanks for asking!

I live in California, and usually start my seeding the 2nd or 3rd of March. For you, being in a colder climate, might not be a bad idea to wait until about the middle of the month. Start your seeding indoor, and transfer the plants to the ground about 6 weeks later.Good luck.

Allison, contact Joel immediately. Use only distilled water, not spring water, not tap water and water it in a saucer. Fill it up about 1/3 of the way. That being said, did you check your email? Joel sent a detailed email before our plant arrived. I contacted him a few times and he was extremely helpful and fast to respond. Here's his email address: JoelsCarnivorousPlants - Amazon Marketplace lk5mjrd052j6cyv@marketplace.amazon.com I cut and pasted his directions in the initial email below: I will be shipping your order to you Saturday. Look for it to arrive in your mail beginning this Monday. If you have cold weather forecast for the next few days please be careful to take your order indoors soon after it arrives and not to leave it in a mailbox outside overnight if you receive your mail in a receptacle that is outside so that your plant will not be damaged/killed by frost. If your plants are damaged by frost anyways in spite of my best efforts at timing the shipping for your order please let me know asap. If it is below freezing where you are at your order may come with a heat pack. The heat pack is a white bag with red line on it. This heat pack is not part of the potting soil. Please be careful to NOT mix it in with your moss that your plant arrives with. If you are purchasing this as a gift it will be important to pot it up right after it arrives rather than leaving it in the box it came in for a while. If you purchased more than one plant they may be wrapped together. If you have any problems with your plant(s) or its shipping please feel free to contact me. I'm here to help. If you like what you see when your order arrives you can see more Carnivorous Plants that I have for sale here.--&gt;

They have a version of the townhouse in stock now, I would get it before next Friday as Amazon is selling it for less then retail but the prices will definitely go up after as sometimes it seems some of the stores sell stuff for less then costs before the holiday

Premium garden mix from a nursery or home center. The soil should be loamy and drain well. Regular "dirt" would compact over the growing season. Plan on spending about $15.

If they are going to be outside for a while before you take delivery then I would say that temp is to hot. I would say whenever the temp stays steady in the 70's would be a good time to order.

I live in eastern VA, along the coast, and I have mine planted in pots and bring them in for the winter. I would suggest you wait till late APR MAY time to order. They come well packaged and in good condition.
