Now that's a pretty big difference between our zones. I'm in a zone 6 that always has several inches of snow when it gets cold and the lowest it usually drops down to the lower single digits only for a couple hours at worst so even in the worst case scenario, I only thing the soil freezes a couple inches here. I've tried it out by digging after one of these cold nights, and the soil is not frozen.

I still want to keep more of the p-stem alive so I'll gather a bunch of leaf bags, and really wrap up the p-stems well because I want them to get bigger next year.
