My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

When to plant in region 5

17 years ago

I'm located in Region 5, not far from Ithaca, NY. We still have some cold weather coming that may get to 0 or below.

My HFGH was erected in April of last year (2007) so I missed getting plants going. This year I'm ready. Just put in a propane heater.

What I need to know is, when is a good time to get geraniums started from cuttings. With the price of power and fuel, I would like to hold off but still have some good plants by Memorial Day.

Any help from others in this area would be appreciated.

Joe
