| First of all, I'm in Michigan. Have had unusually cold and rainy weather this fall. We're in the process of building a new 3-car garage and I would like to plant emerald green arbs and knockout roses along the back of the garage (faces south). My neighbors are, unfortunately, going to look at this 36' long white wall, and I'm trying my best to camouflage this for them. Will November be too late for this planting? Should I wait till spring? |
