Hi!
So tempted by this lovely weather today (62 and sunny)!
I'm trying to figure out when will be the best time to plant the following in NYC:
-strawberry plants
-blueberry bush
-black raspberry bush
-tomato plants
-corn stalks
I'd appreciate any thoughts!!
Thanks so much. |

| Blueberry and raspberry bushes are very different from the others. This is a good time to plant them. They're like roses. I just transplanted my blueberry a couple of weeks ago. Cool weather and rain is actually nice for them and as they wake up they get right to growing. I would think that strawberries and tomatoes can be planted as well although you may run the risk of frost damage since this winter seems to be hanging on. I suspect that most people would wait, but I'd take the risk just to ensure that I got things going. In fact, I'm planting this weekend. Good luck. |

| Anytime after March 31 works for me! As long as the ground can be dug and it's not muddy. |
