Hi Barefoot. You can plant during the dormant season. I wouldn't plant anything that has been field dug and take a chance if you aren't fairly experienced with plants, but potted plants for the most part are okay. Everyone just needs to know what survives in this area and what doesn't. I've noticed that some garden centers, Home Depot and Lowes offer things that aren't suitable for this area over the long haul.

Also, not all plants and shrubs should be pruned after the danger of frost occurs. As a for instance, azaleas should be trimmed immediately after the flowers fade. Roses the same thing but there is a definite way roses should be pruned and most people aren't aware of the proper way, unfortunately.


For those who aren't sure about plants and what to do and/or how to do it, don't ask anyone for their "opinion;" ask someone who is knowledgeable.
