Well, here we are two weeks later and still going strong.

It looks like Halloween will be the the first significant freeze up. There is still quite a divergence in the long range foercast, Accuweather has overnight lows in the 20s while the Canadian Weather Network and the Wunderground models have the warm Great Lake breezes keeping me in the mid thirties while most of Michigan freezes. Either way it has been a great Autumn so far, I was able to move and establish young pups in mid September, they are now growing and should be fine to overwinter. I think next March I will erect a small temporary lean-to around my main patch to give them a bit of a leg up early on.
