I am trying to pot up and hold over as many plants as possible, so when we move I will have head start and my gardens gone and sodded for "curb" appeal.
I have heard about placing the pots of daylily on their sides (so no ice build up)..
but what about ferns, Jack in the pulpits, trillium ( assuming I still can find the special ones)
I am potting up the Asiatic and tiger lilies. Many of the peonies are in pots and some of the clematis.
Any suggestions helpful. The backyard area between the garage and privacy fence can cheat the zone a bit-still I am zone 5 at best.
I will try to get a part in the sale about "The Plants are Mine"...but.
