Be Careful for What You Wish

During our fair the end of September I was over chatting in the Director of Horticulture building office.

The lady whom I have known for years and worked the fair for over 30years told me she was to disabled to take care of her Red Dahlias. I cheerfully said I would be the new adoptive Mom.

Well, she called me last weekend, I went to the house to pick them up.

Her husband brought the tractor up with huge boxes of tuber clumps! Enough to completly fill the trunk of my car.

Now, I am overwhelmed with the amount of tubers to store!

I have semi heated and unheated basements.

I have commercial sized coolers, so I was thinking of placing the tubers in plastic grocery bags with saw dust, then putting them in the coolers in the unheated basement, putting a blanket over the cooler.

The basement of the house that is semi heated from my oil furnace but, doesn't have the space to store 100's of lbs of tubers.

Pa winters often have temps down to -10 in the winter.

I hope with the cooler insulation and the top blankets sitting on a wooden pallet they will survive.

Anyone have a better idea?
