Welcome to the Rec.gardens Newsgroup a WORLDWIDE group. I myself would pot them up and grow'm that way the first year.
Sorry about that , I thought I found one, it's just that gardening differs from state/province, that i have a hard time getting good advice. hey but credit to you!! usually nobody answers me if they know that it's Canada . Our frost times are different and our soil conditions..etc. Thank you for for answering my question , I am going to pot them up , still a lille cold here. I am in zone 5b. thanx Tammie
HI, Since you had them in your fridge I would say plant them as soon as the ground can we worked, or you could plant them now in a big pot and set outside now, and after they die back plant them in the ground in the fall. I would not try to hold them over in your fridge over summer. I am from the east coast of Canada zone 5 NS

They have a forum. I can't say how responsive it is to newcomers, but it seems OK. I find the forum setup a bit awkward. Also, your local horticultural society might have one. Dora Zone 3
