Neild,
If they were mine, I'd keep them outside, where they can get some light. My understanding of pines is they prefer light to no light, and the temps in a garage are too even, if you will, for good dormancy. The problem you'll find as you look in more nurseries for stock, is that Mugos tend to have no trunk, as they are buried, and have rootage close to where the branching begins. In my limited experience with them, Mugos grown from bonsai nurseries that were field grown are the best way to go, as they have developed trunks that are solid, and growing upwards. I'm sure Vance can give you more guided advice for healthing them up. Good luck with them.

Scott
