Your 10 day weather forecast puts you into the average last frost date.

Your temperatures till then are favorable for planting .

If it does frost you may always cover them.

When first planting basjoos first amend and loosen/till the soil very well. This will help your plants settle in faster.

Basjos are awesome, I hope they do well in your landscape.
