We all go through this tuber storage angst every year! Let the newer people rest easy knowing they are not alone with any anxiety they may suffer.

Mary - my three Preference "clumps" (hardly a clump in my experience) just had minor fuzzy spots at the center. It's gone now and drying. I'll take photos later to see if anyone thinks there's any chance for survival.

Speaking of drying...the woman who stopped over twice mentioned the local garden club had a dahlia "pro" saying the clue to saving them was to save them "dry, dry, dry". My impression was they needed some dampness in the bag and that's why we spritz them every few weeks, if needed. I'll check it out online. I wonder if the thought was to dry them well but store them with a tiny amount of dampness to the medium. Any ideas?

I think maybe these Akita tubers could use some Home Depot replacements! LOL
