They are dormant and it is too late to plant now what should I do with
them? Keep and let them dry and rejuvenate in the spring or plant or
what??It has been 30-40F at night and 40-70 in daylight here. >>
Doreen,
It is too late to plant them out in Massachusetts, but you could pot
them and overwinter them in an unheated garage [with window] or in the
basement. The problem with setting them out in the garden now is frost
heaving.
