Hey jack, I just watch the weather if it spikes I will be out there digging. Our weather guys are usually full of it.. Living so close to the water, it tends to stay a little warmer. I did pull smaller plants and potted them up but the larger one's can take the cold little better. Plus I wanted to show them off for halloween. This was the first year I put them in the ground. Boy did I notice a difference in growth!!! From now on pots for winter & in the ground for summer...... Right now our temps are staying around 65f highs to 50-42f lows....with finally a little rain.......November is when you have to watch out for but you never now...if it stays warm I will leave them in... Or if I see there getting hurt I will pull them. This will be the first time I have plants big enough to bare root & see how they do..
