I think we have had enough clouds, I don't need to artificially shade.

Initial appearance, the ones I moved are doing well. The ones I think I broke (but didn't get a good look at and didn't move) are doing badly. Those get less sun. When I first lifted slightly from deep under the half I wanted to take, the other half shifted a little and became very loose. So I think the crown is sitting there broken off from all the tuberous roots. There was absurdly little force or distance involved in breaking that. So it must have had zero flexibility and zero strength. But as far as I can tell from the pieces I lifted out, the tiny roots are mainly from the crown (not from the tuberous roots). So the half I didn't lift should be in better shape on tiny roots.

All shoots are still red. I don't remember when they normally turn from red to green.
