Thanks I think I live in Zone 5. I decided to wait. temps are suppose to drop this week now.

I have a butterfly bush that I need to transplant. Can I do it now or should I wait until Spring? It is in the 40's here right now.

Congratulations. What a great gift. It will pay for itself over and over. I have had mine for at least 30 years and she's (that's right she's) still going strong.

Make them a little taller and then you also have your collar for cut worms. Great idea. Just my luck DH threw out my wrapping paper roll. Oh well. There is always next year.;)

Yes I canned 41 pints this year.
