What IS that stuff Dan?? Can't you till up in the spring and/or put some sort of buried edging down say 6" to keep it from regrowing. That would make it horrible to dig up tubers. As you= so eloquently stated.

Your clumps still look cleaner and drier than mine were. Maybe because they are outside and it is 60F. It was in the 30's when I dug mine and they went into a garage so while temps were in the mid to high 50's there it also held humidity.

I am going downstairs to day to see how they are doing. Also have a pot with a lily in it I want to check on. Set it by the footing hoping it would be a little cooler there but I doubt it. Not enough difference to matter.

Yup. We will be chomping at the bit to go through this next fall (with the definition of 'fall varying greatly.) Hilarious!
From -60 Alaska to +100 Virginia. Wahoo
