Tomorrow is the day to plant:)
It's finally here! The lows tonight are 33F, and all next week, lows are not supposed to drop below 36F, plus it's supposed to rain tomorrow night and Thursday.. I am planning on planting my Trachy and Butia tomorrow...my grandpa brought a truckload of cow manure to our house that we are going to rototill into our vegetable garden...it is mostly black dirt at this point...should I rototill this into my palm planting sites? I'm really wanting to make transitioning as easy as it can be on my expensive palms, and the Butia is already not looking well:/ I know I've asked questions like this before, but so much of this is on a case-by-case and palm-by-palm basis...thank you for your patience and understanding:)

Don't fertilize for 2 months after planting....
Are your palms already outside?
You may want to let them acclimate(sit outside for a week)-the roots may be shocked going into cold soil...if it is still cold.

Have you checked with your local extension office to see what ground temps are?

You can buy a little thermometer big enough to check 4" soil temps at Wal-Mart...
(in the kitchen section)just make sure to get the one with the right range that is also digital.

Great idea! Since soil temps vary bases on amount of sun etc.

I moved them outside today to let them acclimate in their pots...However, tonight, the temperatures are supposed to drop to right at freezing (32F, 0C)..will this hurt my palms? I had moved them inside last night because I was concerned, but I decided to move them out again today, it's probably best not to baby them...lol but I'm still concerned...
