Question
I want to plant flowers in the garden before Shemitah. Until when is it permitted for me to plant?
Answer
Soft flowers may be planted until sunset on the 27th of Elul. Flower bushes with a hard stem, such as roses, are considered like barren trees and may be planted until the 14th of Elul.
