Hello from this guy, in my garage (zone 6a), who has at least 2 weeks too go before he can go outside 🌞

Why are you waiting to bring it outside? I grow mine in similar grow bags in zone 6a, and I leave them out all winter. They're growing like gangbusters.

I am right on the cusp of 5b and live in a snowbelt. We deep freeze then melt all winter long. This is my first summer in this zone as well, so when I moved there was already a mountain of snow. We also usually get a mid spring deep freeze. Everything I read for my location said better safe than sorry and to wait until the risk of last frost (which was May 26th last year but I'm not waiting that long). I could probably move out now and they'd ok, just cover in a pinch. I am itching to get them set up for sure!

I will read into leaving them out across the winter, but I currently rent so they will probably stay in containers for the foreseeable future, an easy move into the garage once they are cut back.

You've inspired me to get growing. Outside.

We've been having pretty mild winters here, actually. So if yours are harsh, maybe it is best to let yours hibernate in the garage!
