Thanks, Drew. I'd totally put it in the ground if it didn't have to compete with the oak tree roots. What do you think? Will it stay on top enough that I can get it enough nutrients to thrive? I'm guessing it's the type of plant that would naturally grow under a tree canopy, right?

We very rarely get a real 'freeze' and did not have any temps below 35 this winter - no frost, even. Also my garden is very protected from wind, and I have miles of frost cloth. The place looks like a tent city if the temp is forecast to fall below 40. I'm well prepared to protect it as needed.

Maybe I'll hedge my bet, pot one and put the other in the ground and see what happens. Stay tuned!
