Decided today would be a good time to transplant one of my double fernies. It is only 93 and some cloud cover so this may be the coolest day for awhile. Dug it by flushing the roots with water and was able to remove it with no broken tubers. First pic is the bottom of the root system.
Notice there are several eyes but I did not want to try to divide it since I have 2 others with a species double coming this fall.
Notice the eyes are not firmly anchored to the crown so do not try to pull it by the stems. I hose out the soil and put my hand underneath the tubers and lift gently.
Next 2 are of a couple of singles which were too close to the surface. I hosed some of the loose soil away to check for eyes then covered them with some high quality MG potting soil.
