Is planting bare root in october okay ?

[newstart]

I have some plants coming in october to plant in the open garden. If they are bare root with the cold nights do you think they will be affected when planting.  Or should I be more worried about using enough grit for drainage hence giving them a better start without water-logging. There is nothing frost tender amongst the ones I ordered and they are standard types often bought in garden centers not to difficult ones. I know some of the succulents eg Delosperma which are okay for the garden but require a lot of grit for over winter wetting problems should be watched. I can cover with one pond see through boxes from pound stretcher potentially.

David. thanks!

If there is nothing frost tender in your expected plant  delivery then I cannot see any problem at all in planting them in October. If the ground were to be very wet at the time then some extra drainage added would be a good idea, but otherwise they should be fine.

Thanks Maggie. Seems I'm on the right track. Thanks for the confirmation.
