We purchased some grape, and blackberry vines in small sacks. We are in zone 8. When do you plant them? I haven't bought a Farmers Almanic this year.

Dip in rooting hormone if they don't have roots yet (willow sap is free if you have one available) and water prior to each cold snap. The water provides the plant with a better chance of survival. If we get a real cold front, cover with a sheet or blanket after watering them in before the front hits. If you're still in doubt, call your local agricultural extension agent under the government pages in your phone book. Hope this helps, Judi
