Thank you everyone for your help, I really do appreciate it.

Well, dang... I was really hoping they could be kept in the dark for a few months like daffodils.

Len, I could dig up three more tubs and still leave as much behind.

OK, so they must be potted up which means I need to rethink how many of each variety I "need" to take with me.

Next question, am I correct in that the big lump should be removed and the smaller one is the part I should keep?
That would really save a lot of space if that is true.

Thanks again
