Sounds ridiculous to me. When are they supposed to start growing their roots?
Here in Zone 6A Cincinnati we plant in October (or earlier in a pinch) and
I'm sure the soil temperature is well above 40F. But then we have freezing
winters to look forward to as early as November. Any Texans online to support
or refute?
