herbie--I put mine under the deck next to the house for protection, then covered them with clear plastic and checked on them from time to time--not letting them dry out but not letting them get too soaked from weather, either. In your climate, I think even if I put them under the deck I would put hay bales around them for insulation...and I would use big sized pots --14 inch across and 12 inches deep for starters...

I planted the bulbs in late October and November when they came into the stores (Home Depot).

Herbie---this is the first year I planted the bulbs in pots, so I am no expert for sure. I went by 'trial and error', so I wish you good luck! t.

these are some amaryllis we planted in pots...
