You're both very welcome! My greatest concern too was not that they would freeze, but that they might rot. We had buried them deep and covered with compost, and then straw, but it rained a LOT... still, the row came up thick and full - three times, actually, since once I forgot to pull the straw back on a hard frost, and another time it was a surprise frost. My best guess is because the root systems had developed in the warmth of the compost. I'm eager to try it again and see what results.
