Since you are the resident Gardener guru. (By the way did you just post under gardener, a new person? ) I have a question for you and 07 too. I am a decent gardener up north, but down here new rules apply.

Recently JoJo gave us several bushes from the place where her pool is being dug. We dug them and planted them right away, filled them in and watered them, but they are looking mighty puny. They had bare roots, because sandy soil does not clump and I do know this that the faster they go back in the ground the better. We had them out...no more than an hour. I have watered them diligently, maybe too much.

What else should we have done?
