RE: CULT: question - frost heave

Hi,
I have planted here with good luck around the
first week of October.  We usually get snow that
stays by Thanksgiving.

For those of you who garden in areas where frost
heave of newly planted rhizomes is a problem,

how late before the ground freezes can you usually
safely plant?  Six weeks?

Back when the winters were colder here, the ground
wouldn't usually freeze until around Christmas.
Sometimes earlier.  Not at all last winter.
