Ack, here I was about to do the opposite and put mine in the shade on the north side of the house so they'll get as much cooling weather as possible. Then once they've chilled a bit, move 'em out. But, do they start this early to set flower spikes? I wonder also if your garden is chillier than mine in winter anyway, Jim. You do have the north wind exposure and breezes off the lake there, right?
Guess I'll try chilling a couple, and also try the "more sun" strategy with a couple. Actually a few of mine are in the sun now, just because the angle is lower, and they were shaded by the bamboo all summer. Hmmm.
