I hope someone more experienced answers. I live in a similar zone. The cold wouldn't be a problem but I think the lack of direct sunlight is.

Temperatures should be good, keep an eye on the plants in case they start etiolating, be stingy with the water and fertilizer so not to promote fast growth under low light conditions
