Well what most people do is grow it inside for the first month to get it strong and then take it outside. I don't know about connecticut. I live in Florida.
i am thinking of making a greenhouse type thing out of some plastic sheeting material. and maybe some sticks.im just wondering,if anyone knows when would be a good month where they could survive without frost? in new england.
I'm in the midwest and I'm going to play it by ear. Its the same every year. Depends on how early it gets warm enough. I figure mid april - mid sept, give or take a couple weeks.
Speaking of the frosts..does anyone know where I can find the farmers almanac version of the first and last frosts of the regions? I went on the site but for the life of me I can't seem to find it. Thanks in advance
