I'll probably do mine this seekend or next. Last year ( which was colder, earlier) I covered and cut my basjoos around Halloween and they kept on growing and had to top them and re-cover. Depending on your particular 7a conditions right around Thanksgiving might be a good general time frame. ( I'm in zone 6a)
