Temperatures have cooled off around most of the country. Those of you in the colder areas of the country should think about placing your last orders for the year very soon, or waiting until Spring. Our plants are used to warm and hot temps, but don’t like to get too cold. We stop shipping when low temps get near or below freezing in your area.
