Steve,
I cut the stalks and pulled the mulch over them. We did have the coldest, wettest winter we have experienced in over 5 years. The others were potted and spent the winter in my friends greenhouse. Lost the Pedro Ortiz and I AIN"T happy about it either!!!! I planted the schei outside and have a small one still potted that I am trying to figure the best place to put it.... I will have to take some pics of the backyard in another week or so as things are finally starting to shoot up... Way behind this year from previous growing seasons...
Take care my friend...
