Hi chris I am in buffalo area, and I move things all summer long.I never move or plant in the hot sun,always in the early evening, always with root tone and follow with waterings for the next few days.all but the most delicate can handle it.I have worked with people over 80 years old for the past 13 years, and have learned plenty.plants are like children....coddle them too much and they never do well.throw them a curve ball once in awhile and they grow strong to adapt.

now if I could just treat my dh and my boss like plants i would eliminate alot of my stress!!

Not too late, Chris.
A simple rule of thumb. Move early spring flowering plants in the fall and move summer flowering plants in the spring.

BUT.....Most plants can be moved whenever you want if you take enough surrounding soil.

Mark Cullen said last weekend that the next few weeks are prime moving time for my area. I would guess the same for you.

Chris, I'm from Ontario and in zone 5 as well. You can definitely move your plants now. There's enough time for them to take root before we hit the first hard frost. We've experienced some really mild over night temps. I still have my cannas, okra and bay leaf tree outdoors with no ill effects
