I will have to try that way too. <br /><br />I personally have used the old Victory Garden way (from years back with Roger Swain) <br /><br />- dig, 'em; soak 'em in a bucket of water for 5 - 10 minutes to get off dirt and hydrate; pack'em in many sheets of wadded newspaper and store in small cardboard boxes that you've labeled in a cool dark basement.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01203286781888444548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21896098.post-73128031690653266362009-08-17T21:51:50.375-04:002009-08-17T21:51:50.375-04:00Good info.
