Should I Re-Pot My Cuttings
My cuttings are in the coldframe and are ready for re-potting as roots are showing through the bottom of the pots, question is should I pot them on this Autumn or wait until spring. Thank you

Can I move large ferns now although they haven't died down? »
Go ahead and pot them up now and make them happy. You don't want those protruding roots to freeze. There should be a half inch space between the root ball and the rim of the pot. Just yesterday I transplanted 4 different shrubs and planted some new Irises - same idea. However, I would hold off on fertilizer so they just wind down and go to sleep. Fertilize them in the Spring when they wake up.
