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.

first mail order question

14 years ago

received my first mail order...actually from ebay bids. Good size beautiful plants...arrived in great condition...first frost, orange marmalade, risky business. Arrived bare root. I put into containers with soil/potting soil and watered. I have spots in the garden for them. Should I keep them in pots for a period of time, or get them in the ground right away?

Once again, thanks!
