That all depends on how addicted you become. Either make room in your garage and make sure it doesn't dip below 35 for long or if you are a real addict by then you will make room in your house or if you have a window seat in your office. Either way if you want fruit you're going to need to protect them over your long winter. Just rememeber not to water them very much if any should you choose the garage option.
