Hi All,

Tomorrow I'm renting a sod cutter and DH and I are going to widen my garden patches around the house and yard.

I have some plants that need to be moved to sunnier areas. Would I do best to leave them until next spring or do it now?

Also, if I plant perennials, will they survive with a fall planting? Does that give them enough time to develop a good root system where they sit? Would they do this best if I cut off any flowers? Or can they root and flower at the same time?

The plants that need moving are a lilac bush, daylillies and some other perennials.

Also, I want to air root my serviceberry tree so I can plant a new one in the back yard. Does that work? And if so, does it take a long time? Would that do better in the spring?

I'm so excited about all this, I've wanted to do this for over ten years!

Oh, we're also removing a ten foot strip of sod so that I can plant a row of asparagus in the early spring! DH will dig the trench next March, but at least we'll have the sod taken out!
