Its softneck? I believe they prefer to be mulched to survive the winter.
The purpose of planting in the fall is to allow the roots to establish so they can go right to growing in the spring. +/- a few weeks won't make that much of a difference. With the raised beds and containers you shouldn't be at risk of rot (as long as they have drainage).
Good luck!
Yeah, it's a soft neck. Now I gotta find some mulch to invest in somehow 😅 would freshly cut leaves be fine? We trimmed our leafy tree a little bit and could use that for mulch, unless I need to wait for the leaves to turn brown maybe?
Yeah that's what I've read too, to get them "acclimated". Yeah I'm good with the raised bed and the containers, no problems with draining and whatnot. 💯
Leaves yes. Run them over with your lawn mower to break them up first though. Some leaves, fucking maple, mat up real bad and strangle out whatever is below it.
