Well, heres an update
I was AFG ( away from garden) for 2 weeks, looking after my grandams huge 10 000 gallon pond and garden. Looks like the potted one got a bit dry, but is fine now. The little on in ground, almost got choked out by my morning glories ( these suckers are well over 20 feet long, with leaves 7 inches accross. They make a matt of plant matter 2 feet thick). So i had to tie a bunch of em back to give it more light, so its still growing and alive.
Heres a pic of the potted one

Its in doors and wont be going into dormancy ( house plant with super babying the thing). The other one is being super multched and bucketed, and buried in snow. Hope for the best
