Will they rot?

13 years ago

I just got my tubers from Swan Island. I planted them in huge pots on my deck. I noticed it said NOT to water till they came up. They are rather small tubers, and we're expecting heavy rains for a week(torrents coming down now). Do you suppose I should take them back up, just to be sure they dont rot?

I would either do that or try to cover the pots with something to divert some of the water. I little bit of rain I wouldn't worry about, but a week's worth, I would.
