When should areas planted in the fall be inspected?

Winter
Spring
Summer
Fall

The correct answer is: Spring

Inspecting areas planted in the fall during spring is crucial for several reasons. After winter, plants may exhibit signs of growth or stress that indicate whether they survived the colder months. Spring inspections allow operators to assess the health of the plants and determine if any adjustments, such as replanting or additional maintenance, are necessary. Additionally, spring inspections can help identify any issues related to water drainage, erosion, or the effectiveness of any stormwater management practices implemented during the fall planting. This season is particularly important because it is a time of renewed growth, and conditions such as soil moisture and temperature will impact plant viability. Observing the planted areas in spring provides the most accurate assessment of their status after winter, ensuring they are ready to thrive during the growing season.
