Good for you on the Mugos, they look good. As to the buds. Don't touch them till late June early July. In the spring post again before doing anything and I'll try to walk you through what I would do with them (assuming what I would do as any merit).

They also need to be kept outdoors in the weather, just out of the wind. If it makes you feel better you can mulch the pots up a bit but this is not necessary, it is the wind that is the killer. Just give them a bit of shelter.
