Transplanting from pot to bed
« on: May 26, 2013, 19:28 »
Is there a good or bad time of the day to transplant potted plants into the ground?

Transplanted some sweet peas and sunflowers today around midday and wondered if I should be doing this early morning or evening time.

Just curious.

If I thought about it, I would not do it in the warmest part of the day if the plant will then be in full sun.  I'd probably aim to do it later in the evening so they have the night to take up more water in relative coolness.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

As Yorkie says really, I try not to transplant in very hot sunny weather,but we all know that is not always possible. Today was one of those days here,but I really needed to get the broad beans in,so I just made sure I watered them in well.
