I have a mat down here in Fort Myers. From my experience, they are slow to establish and are fairly cold sensitive. You might be a little too north to grow them successfully without protection. I can't say I am an expert yet since I haven't harvested a bunch yet. I had one well on the way, but some wind gusts took it down. (needless to say I was not thrilled)
