no biggy. They will go in the mail today.

To plant them just make a 3/4 to 1 inch deep trench, row stick them in the trench and put dirt over the top. They will come growing together. The smaller bunches you can plant together and bigger ones you can break apart. It isn't uncommon for them once there established to grow together anyway.

The key is next year when you start to use them is to let some leftover so they reproduce the seeds. You can then let them fall or pick them and replant them.

Mine are planted in a mixture of sun and shade. They seem to like a somewhat dandy soil. I did have some in done pretty good black dirt and seemed to do good there though.

Good luck with them and enjoy.

Do they need to be planted right away Glenn? 

[glenn57]

Yea I would plant them soon. Will give them a good start for next spring. In late fall I usually cover them some with leaves. Helps a bit for winter protection. But the frozen ground won't kill them.

They, along with my pension application went into the mail today.
