Hi, Tom, and wlecome to bonsaiTALK! Please take a minute to fill out your user profile so answers can be best suited to your situation from heree outr (even though we now know you are a Yankee in CT).

There has been much discussion of "wintering" here, and if you use the search function above for that word you will find a wealth of info and discussion.

As to what to do now? A year-old seedling will need a lot of growth before it becomes workable even for the smallest of bonsai. I suggest you spoend a few $$$ at a good nursery (I think Shanti Bithi is in CT?) and get some good styock to occupy your hands as the seedling grows a decent trunik over the next few years.

Good luck!
