Seed Keepers

["Teresa H. Ebie" <teresaebie@earthlink.net>]

I recently ordered some onion transplants that were supposed to arrive in 
early April, but they arrived Saturday.  Can anyone tell me the best way to 
keep them alive for at least 3-4 weeks, and preferably longer, until I can 
plant them? We still have snow on the ground.  Should they be cool & moist, 
or dry? Light or dark? Would my root cellar, which is about 39 degrees F & 
90 percent rh, be too cold and/or too moist?  Should I try to pot them up 
temporarily?

Any help is much appreciated.
