I'm sure you're right, and one day I hope to have a bigger garden with a green house, and I will most certainly hibernate them in a greenhouse and let them dig down into the soil. It's a plan for the future , it's all planned in my head.
But next winter they are going to have a bespoke shed, in a shady place, so I'm hoping it might stay a bit cooler for longer.
