So here's how the chapter ends.....most of my rhizomes that had rot started out this size or bigger... (I left the knife in so you can get an idea of the sizes)

)
And the question of the day is how large do the increases have to be to viable? A lot of mine were about as big as my pinky nail.
(Oh, and
@Phillipb2 - I was wrong...it wasn't Sweeter Than Wine it was Butterscotch Wine, but thanks for the offer! (Too much wine in the garden!)
