I grow them outside (I do live in a fairly unique temperate climate, coastal southern California). I water everything a little less frequently in winter since they don't dry out as fast, bout otherwise they get the same care all year around. Not much... water daily most of the year, maybe every 2-3 days when it's cold. They get rained on if nature chooses to be so kind. Fertilizer, about every 2 weeks, dilute and occasionally forgotten. So, pretty much the same care as everything else, quite basic.
