Here in Western NY, winter is about half over..
Two and a half months down..Two and a half months still to go.
I usually bring my Sarrs and VFT's out of dormancy in mid-February..then they spend 6 weeks indoors until they go outside in April..but last spring I let them slumber until March, and they went outdoors earlier..
I think im going to try that again this year..leave them in the basement stairwell until Mid-March or so, or until its warm enough that they can go outdoors in the balmy 40 degree air of March and April..
