Thank you both of you for your comments! Here we live a typical mediterranean climate. Our summers are very dry with almost no rainfall for at least two months. Relative air humidity drops to less than 15%. Then after the first rains in April ( the begining of fall) humidity starts rising and reaches 95% by mid winter and early spring. Since I don't have a underground cellar I store my tubers in our main farmhouse storage room. I've found that my ( and also inherited) discarded old frigidaire refrigerators can keep my tubers fairly uniformly cold and away from nibbling critters ( ravenous mice!). The storage room has no heating though temperatures do not drop below freezing ever. Next season I will defintely try the Saran wrap. I reckon that Saran wrap has microholes that allow material to breathe through. Thank you also for your advice in selecting what to keep and what to discard. Recognizing early in the process which tubers are worth the while keeping is very time and extra work saving advice! Although I have potted about 120 tubers this spring, I'm trying to enlarge my collection so your advice will be taken into great consideration. For miniatures I start them inside our greenhouse from seed. I'm also trying out new plants that I've started from seed collected from the taller cultivars. We'll see. Thanks again. Arturo
