Wow - Your sons are June bearers?  Don't they complain about being kept in a cool dark place?:^)

 

We have kept ours for a few days until planting - the fridge would be better if it is longer than that.  Yes, damp - but not too. 

 

In fact, the first few years when we planted hundreds, we planted them when it was cold and pretty gloomy outside!  Now I wait to plant until it is warmer.  But I think we were worried about the amount of time they were lying around back then.  Too many boxes for the fridge.

  Hi Marie...don't have a cave handy..:-) but a dark cool place could be found. They are my sons...and I believe they are June bearers. He got them from Miller Nurseries in N.Y. state.  Franklin

I think the best thing is to put them in a refrigerator.  If you don’t have cooler space, put in a cool basement or cave.  Should be instructions included with them.  What kind did you get and where did you get them?
