Welcome!
I am in zone 6 and have 64 species of tropical plants in my greenhouse. Sitting out there having coffee right now, in fact. I started out like you, moving things in and out every year but it killed me. Those big pots are heavy! Wound up with golfers elbow and tennis elbow in both arms. Couldn't even lift a pen or a coffee cup for months.

So, thoughts -
1 - Most anything can be grown in pots with the right care. So go wild.
2 - Get a really good pot dolly.
3 - Then give up and build a greenhouse...



May LOOK peaceful, but as I was typing this, one of my little parrots fell into my coffee cup! Oh, the hazards of jungle life!
Any recommendations on a good dolly?

Was just thinking of this the other day and was worried dolly might not move well in the dirt once it has some weight on it, may have to look for something with big wheels.  Idk tho, I haven’t really shopped for em yet, but feel like I need to get one before I have more than a couple 15+gal pots.  Even the 7 gal get to be a pain after moving a few.
