Gayla: If they're showing growth, however small, I would not dig and
pot now. In my NW Iowa setting, at least, a good mulch (non-packing
material that lets air circulate but keeps the winter sun off the
rhizomes. That way they don't freeze/that/freeze, and they aren't so
likely to frost-heave. Here, at least, that's important, and I would
expect it to be so for you, even though you are somewhat farther
south. (I have a daughter in Macomb, so I know something of what
your winter is like.)
