You can safely plant now. As long as the plants have 6 weeks to adjust before a hard freeze, you are fine. I am a little concerned that you said you dug a 'deep hole'. Maybe you just meant that you did that to amend the soil. Daylilies shouldn't be planted deeply ---- Just a couple of inches above where the leaves meet the crown. As far as amending the soil, I wouldn't do that either. Just plant them in the soil you have and next year when they are up and growing, you can feed them with a slow release fertilizer if you feel you must. If you are mulching with something that will benefit the soil, that is probably all the feeding they will need. Order those babies and go for it!!!

Now is a great time to move plants. The spring bloomers won't miss a beat if you move them now & keep moist until the fall rains return. Smaller perennials would do fine & might even do better if you moved them now rather than spring, but not the fall bloomers. If it were me I'd wait to move the hardy fuchsias until spring to get 'em established before winter next year. Same for any warm season grasses, but cool grasses could be moved. Where I'm at in western WA it rains even more than Seattle dumping just as the clouds lift over the Cascades, so winter wet plus deeper & longer freezes make me hesitant to move a lot in fall though I've moved shasta daisy in early November. If you're in town & in a protected yard you might have no trouble moving the fuchsias now even though they're in flower. I've read to plant fuchsias deep like tomatoes & mulch well. Anything to protect those roots! Good luck.

Some people will just stick them away some place safe and dry, others will stick them in soil and perlite for the winter. If it were me, I would allow them to callous then pot them up. Do you have a heat mat? Bottom heat is most important when it comes to cuttings. Allow to callous for a couple of weeks if they aren't already calloused. Apply rooting hormone and pot in clear plastic 16 or 20 ounce water bottles. (You can see when they root.) Poke drain holes in the bottom. Different people use different soils. Many of us use 1 part soiless mix, 1 part perlite. Some of us use the egg method. You can do a search on this forum. During the growing season, we would water once, and then not again until you see roots. Hopefully someone else will come along and give advice on watering your cuttings at this time of year. Maybe just a little water, maybe water as you normally would a cutting? I think it's important to get more advice on this one. When I rooted my first cuttings it was during the winter and I watered. But I was a newbie and lucky all turned out good. LOL Keep warm, heat mat would be ideal.

Prices in some areas are at or near what they were pre-bubble. I believe that general rules of thumb that were in place before housing rabies took hold of this country are still good measures. One, if you stay in the house at least 5-7 yrs it may make more sense to buy, depending on the local market. If you're moving around a lot, rent. Not only could we still be in a falling market, but moving and selling before that rarely makes sense. I believe most areas still have a ways to come down in price, the exception possibly being areas that never saw the wild price inflation. But even those areas could lose value, they just have less distance to go to make up for it when housing "recovers." I would not buy in an inflated area. Most of those prices are still WAY out of whack w/reality and w/incomes. They may come down slowly and painfully, or it may be fast, but they have to come down because people are unable to afford them and many (responsible) lenders have tightened up standards. Any lenders who'd still approve a loan for too much house is probably clearly a crook, and to be avoided. Second: Old rule of thumb on how much house you could afford was, never finance anything more than two or three times your annual income, and only about a quarter (to a third at most) of your income per month for a mortgage pmt or rent. Many variables including your down payment, debt you still owe other creditors, years til retirement, etc. But never let anyone tell you that buying some overpriced house that requires a toxic loan to get into, is ok just because someone will lend it to you. And never let anyone tell you housing only goes up. That was the industry's justification for telling buyers that a house is an investment instead of just a place to live. You have to live in a house a long time and sell in a favorable market for it to have been an investment and even then many people 'forget' all the money they paid out as a homeowner that they won't get back like maintenance, HOA dues, and so on.
