I'm not sure when I'll take mine out of storage. I'm planning a trip to Virginia early next month. The tubers might be better off staying in the dark attic until I get back. Or I might put them in a room with just a bit of light. After being in storage for months, I can't imagine that too much could go wrong in the week I'm gone. Hopefully, they'll have enough time to sprout before I start them in planters in mid/late April. I've waited until after the first of June to plant the past two years. I used to plant the third week of May. Now, I don't feel like I gained much by doing that since there's not a lot of growth until the soil warms. I also think I've avoided some damp soil and potential rot by waiting later, too.
I took the c/c class a few years ago. It was 12 hours on Saturday and four hours on Sunday. That's a long time to sit. I wished it had been drawn out over two weekends.
