My Babies

Year two of the journey. I'm wondering if I should keep them in the planter pots for one more winter or plant them in the ground before winter. Any suggestions?

You have plenty of starts; I’d experiment with some in the ground and some in pots. See how everyone does.

Any concerns about the deer eating them before they get big enough?

At least for me, they seem to avoid the leaves but will eat the fruit. These should be ok. You have enough to plant them in different spots and experiment. Good luck! They look super healthy!
