Welcome Rocco!
You are from St Catharines? That's great to have another Canadian on board
I'm looking forward to receiving my own basjoo, you got yours for a really great price!!!
Since St Catharines is more at south than Mtl, I guess your weather is a tiny bit warmer than here. Maybe you could keep some indoors in your basement and leave one outside to try to overwinter it (I'll probably do that) ! We need more people to experiment in our weather
You'll find tons of advice here, enjoy the forum!
