| I have a HUGE amount of peonies that I dug up today (got them from a "get them today or they die" location). When I got back to my holding bed, it has rained so much that it's just hard mud - horrible for transplanting! I have nowhere else to temporarily put these peonies until tomorrow afternoon. They are currently in boxes and bags bare-root. Will they make it until tomorrow or am I going to kill them? Any quick thoughts would be much appreciated. BTW, it is sprinkling outside. |

| They should be just fine until tomorrow. You wouldn't want to leave them sitting out in the sun, but since it's sprinkling, guess that's not a problem :) I'd hate to tell ya the horror stories I've seen peony roots subjected to. They're a lot tougher than most people give them credit for. |

| I agree they should be fine. I've brought peony divisions up from Pennsylavia to Massachusetts, having to wait almost a week in a plastic bag (in the shade) before I could plant...no problems! So relax. |

| Thanks for putting my mind at ease! I actually also go the flu yesterday...ick...and so that was one less thing on my plate to stress out over. :) |
