Susan,
Most of what you said I understand, thank you. But, "plant with the crown at or just above the soil to prevent rot"...? Yeah, I have no idea what that means. To be honest, I don't even no what the darn things look like! They're still in their bags because I'm not home from work yet.
I'm quite new to this (as I'm sure you can tell) and I'd really hate to do this wrong because they weren't cheap.
Care to break-it-down even further? (Don't worry about offending - talk to me like I'm 5 yrs old).
Thanks,
Mike
