I got through nineteen (of twenty-nine) bags of tubers today. Some of the divisions may not make it, but here’s what today’s work yielded:

1 – Colwood Crush (did not divide)
3 – Mascot Maya (West Bed)
1 – Spartacus (West Bed)
2 – Crossfield Ebony (West Bed, one from each of two plants)
1 – Karma Serena (did not divide)
1 – Vassio Meggos (root clump)
1 – Formby Kaitlyn (root clump)
1 – Figurine (interior is hollow, probably won’t survive)
2 – Cafe au Lait (clump #3, the one with nice color)
2 – Mascot Maya (East Bed)
7 – Sean C.
7 – Carl Chilson (East Bed)
4 – Mirafloras
5 – Carl Chilson (Rhubarb Farm)
3 – Mascot Maya (East Bed)
7 – Swan’s Olympic Flame (all iffy!)
3 – Worton Blue Streak
10 – Audrey Grace
4 – Skipley Stripe

I packed them in coarse vermiculite and put them in the garage. Tomorrow, I need to create an insulated box. I think I’ll also pick up a bale of wood shavings and try them out as an alternative to vermiculite.
