as soon as they are dormant, I believe, then you can move them this fall. Or you can wait until spring, not sure when that is for you-maybe Feb-ish? Here in zone 4b, I would be moving them in the next two weeks or not until April

I'm in zone 6B or 7 can't decide. But I have fruit trees coming that according to the nursery have to be completely dormant before they can ship from northern Georgia which is zone 6B or 7 also. They are due to arrive the middle of January. I do plan on setting the out as soon as they arrive. Hope this helps.

Procrastination mixed with lethargy is my symptoms,lol I have done nothing in the garden but removed the posts. Chickens have been having a blast there for sure. In 2 weeks need to have 2 beds ready for garlic and onions. A friend from BYC gave me Walking Egyptian onions. Never seen them in my life but in pictures on the internet. They look interesting,lol
But have been laughing so hard just now. Hub made a small coop inside the run with a 200 bucks automatic door. However, the big roo, Pitbull have been behaving and leaving the big mammas alone and not hurting them. So they are all in the big coop, so I have a full house tonight. I guess Pitbull thought, better to be in the big coop rather than the small coop,lol

@Dreamz I have a guess on which lovely lady you are but what if I am wrong.....lol

Nothing in the garden, it is at a standstill. Not much left to harvest but strawberries and raspberries in the big garden and carrot and lettuce in the boxes on the deck. I will be covering their hoops with plastic today and tomorrow to make low tunnels, hopefully it keeps the frost out. Should I lay a light towel over top just in case? Or will the plastic be enough?
I will give only 3 hints. I am wearing black, wearing boots, and wearing glasses.

I'm currently watering the brussels and cabbage. Latter season rains will come, just don't know when. Heavy morning dew helps, but the soil is dry. Cabbages and brussels need a good amount of water weekly to produce. Fall gardens are harder. Sometimes they produce, other times not. Don't know unless I try. Hoping for sauerkraut and fresh brussel sprouts though.

I knew it! The cutest one in the bunch ;)

Last nice before the big cold spell. Inhave green raspberries and strawberries on the plants so tomorrow I need to find all the extra sheets. I also have lettuce about 5 inches high so I need to cover and plastic up. Going to see how far into the fall and winter I can go!
