Mary - I think you said you were storing them in whole clumps this year - did that seem to work well for you?
I am "potting" mine in quart sized zip-locks again this year - big space saver, easy to label, and 90 for less than $5.
It worked great last year until I put them out on the screened porch and it rained. When it rains this year they will go under the table that is out there, or back inside. I drowned several that never really recovered last year.
