Re: [Organic_Gardening] planting in heat
I would buy some organic compost, usually about 2 bucks a bag at Lowe's. Also transplants would like some bone meal and epsom salt. Dig a hole about twice the size of the pot and put some compost, a small handful of epsom salt, and about a tablespoon of bone meal in the bottom. Loosen plant from pot and break up roots a little by just loosening them up before putting in hole. Before covering up water well. Use some compost around plant and leave soil in the shape of a dish to help watering. Mulch to help retain water and watch 'em grow.

Our Wal-Mart has a sale on plants. They look pretty healthy and I want to get some for my yard. We live in east Texas-Hot-! What do I need to do to successfully transplant them.
