All our cannas are dug and their roots are going to spend the winter packed in peat moss... We've had our killer frost already so everything that is supposed to be wilted from it is...

Meanwhile, all the plants that are dug and intended to go with us to NC are all gathered up with straw bales around the pots they are in and leaves over top so they're fine... Probably warmer under there than in the house...

BTW, looks as if ol' hillbilly will be doing a roadside nursery business in the Charlotta area... I have made arrangements to have 100 Japanese Maples held for us so come next spring I'll find a parking lot neer a Harris-Teeter grocery store and set up... "Any Japanese Maple - $75" and have about 15 different hybrids available... That shoudl help us get some landscape/garden design jobs and we can get alot of our stuff outside of Raleigh...
