After 2 1/2 hour of relentless digging and picking, finally was able to get the plants completely loose from the dirt. Loading in the truck was a whole different problem. The plants + rootball has to be a good 300 pounds I'd say. Loaded it with a trackho So 2 pups ended up breaking, 1 I think may grow, the other is gone I'm pretty sure.

I am looking for a few suggestions as to handling this.. should I seperate the pups or put the whole root mass into the ground? I don't know how I am to get it out of the back of my pickup without seriously injuring it. How long do I have until it has to go into the ground?

Does the smaller pup look like it can grow roots? I don't think the larger one can because it broke up in the stem, but the little one broke off at the bulb.

Here it is.
