Welcome to the site. I recommend planting it in the ground this summer, if you have a nice sunny place. Otherwise, definitely put it outside in the pot. Summer sun really helps them grow faster/healthier. Be wary initially as the leaves might get sunburnt...try slowly acclimatizing it to full sun over a period of a week or two. As for growing DC in your area...should do fine in the ground spring-fall, but I don't think it'll survive winter. Pot it up and take it inside when it starts to get cold at night. They should be able to handle low 40's F but I wouldn't let it get much cooler than that. Definitely wouldn't do well with any amount of frost. Hope that helps!
