The forecast looks as though its fairly frost free next week. They should be frost hardy, but may need firming back in if the frost has lifted the soil at all.
Roll on Springtime!!

Hi that sounds like a big job you did.
I'd say that so long as they were all dormant it should be okay.

good luck

I've just seen the front page of the Dreary Eggspress and they are forecasting -100 for the next 4 millenia, and they NEVER get it wrong!!
