I’d like to learn from you about storing terracotta pots in the winter. Winters in New England are quite cold and I understand cracking can be an issue. While the best way to handle this is probably to relocate them to our basement, or even garage, I think that creates a new concern for my back cracking (far more painful than pots cracking). Is there any way to keep these outside and also protect them? Maybe storing them near the foundation, something involving a tarp, or hay, or something I clearly have not yet thought of? Is it better to dump the soil inside and store them empty, or keep the soil inside? Is it okay to stack them? Nest them? What haven’t I considered? Oh my goodness, I’m so new to this and really don’t want to lose these pretty pots, and mostly my back. Thoughts?
