Liliana Wells on Jun 05, 2016Thisplace may have a solution for you http://www.greenhousemegastore.com/?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Branded%20LVG&utm_term=%2Bgreenhouse%20%2Bmegastore&utm_content=Greenhouse%20Megastore. Also, when planting, use potting soil; but line the bottom with shipping peanuts, egg cartons and even plastic bottles; then putt thepotting soil and your plants. This will lighten the planter. Use a plant tray on wheels to move into basement or garage. Ifthose places are cold too, cover with mulch and protect your plantswith fabric or plastic. Good luck.Helpful Reply

MN Mom on Jun 05, 2016To create the colorful pots, you can use Krylon Fusion spray paint. At the end of the season, place each pot in a heavy duty black trash bag to protect it from the snow and ice. I am in Minnesota where we have hash winters, too. I usually put my pots in the garage on the wall closest to the house but I have left them outside covered under my patio set and they've been fine.Helpful Reply

Tracy Ripley on Jun 05, 2016A agree with MN Mom. As long as you can keep the moister (rain, sleet, snow) out of the pot, it won't crack. The water is what freezes and expands to complicate things.Helpful Reply
