HELP!
The selection of fifty daylilies I ordered to take with me to Corfu in
early December (yes, that's not too late to plant there) arrived here in
NY, and they're not the tidy sack of dormant corms I expected to stash
in my fridge till the time comes, but a huge, wet, muddy, tangled pile
of very robust, juicy articles each with a large, tangled thatch of
fleshy roots. There's no way I can keep them in the refrigerator in
their present condition, and we have no balcony.
Shall I:
a. Untangle them and spread them out to dry in a dark corner (our
apartment is overheated) and leave them there till I leave?
b. Cut off the roots and refrigerate them?
c. Wash them and let them dry off for a few days then cut off the great
bulk of the roots, leaving a few, and then keep in the fridge?
Does any one have any better ideas?
thank you
