The tubers will be safe from the frost at that time of year as they're under the soil. You just have to watch the foliage doesn't get frosted. If you think there will be a touch of frost just cover the foliage with news paper or garden fleece. I've got some tubers in the garden that have been there all winter and I'm hoping they will just come up when they feel like it. I cleared the soil away from one the other day and it seemed okay so once the soil warms up it should start in to growth so as you see from that the tubes are pretty well protected under the soil. This doesn't mean that you can leave yours out all winter though as I think you have colder temps than us also the ones I have are in a sheltered place.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830090701346321489noreply@blogger.com
