Re: winter protection
Kitty,
I have some ceramic bells in my trees, just leave them out. Also various
porcelain potsherds that are more or less intact. Those I turn over so water
can't freeze & break them further. So far I've only lost 1 terra cotta pot
tray, try to move empty cly pots under the eaves so they stay dry. One huge
one sits in my front flower bed year round. Plan is to someday make it into
a fountain. Winters here are warmer than yours in general, but we do get
minus teens & twenties for short periods (few days). I think we're dryer,
but deal with constant freeeze thaw all winter & do get significant winter
precipitation.
Hope this helps,
