Good morning
Ripening at the present-
Named Varieties--Desert King, white Adriatic, Chicago Hardy
Suitcase varieties-Mississauga, Savice, New Jersey, Albion #2
I leave them outside until all the leaves fall off (like deciduous trees),
then into the rear of my garage
In  early March , in spite of very little light and about 50-55'F they start
to send out green shoot/leaves. A few have berbas although they have to date
not ripened.
I built a trolley cart out of an old Bar B Que frame and bought two metal
trolleys. If the day is nice I shove them outside, bring in at night 'til
weather is decent.
Cheers        Bert

THINK BLENDING, NOT VARIETALS
