Ok, I seemed like a good idea, and now that I've done it, I'm not so sure. Of course, it's too late. I was so back and forth the past couple of months....leave them in the ground or dig them up? Well...I knew I wanted to move them in the spring, so I figured I may as well just dig them up, and plant them where I want them in the spring. And for ease of keeping them in the house, I hacked them off. Mistake?
Could I have transplanted them this late, and covered them up? I figure the shock of moving them wouldn't have been good coming into cold weather. I don't think I can successfully store them dormant, my insulated garage is too cold in the winter I'm thinking, and my basement is too warm...it stays about as warm as the house.
Should I have not hacked them off? I'm now kinda thinking I didn't do the right thing. If they survive, once they are in their new spot next year, I plan to winter them outdoors from now on. With the protection of bales of straw/tarps.
