To Dianne Stephany from zone 5 who received some plants and can't plant
them because her ground is frozen: If I had the problem, I'd buy a bag of
potting soil and find a cardboard box big enough to accommodate the plant
roots. If the box is bigger than needed, lay it on its side, dump in a
generous supply of potting soil; put the plant roots on top of it and add
more potting soil until the roots are covered. Then thoroughly soak the
potting soil + roots and set outside to freeze. Once frozen, cover with
snow. If you don't have snow yet, cover it up when you get (sufficient)
snow. Problem solved?
