Is there a method for checking on rhizome health before we get into the growing season?
We had to move last year after the growing season was over, so we transplanted our rhizomes which were already going into dormancy. I'm concerned because we were in a rush and did not take good care of them while transplanting, we just dug them up, threw them in plastic bags, and put them into the ground at our new house 3 or 4 days later.
If I were to gently unearth one, would I just check that it's not dried out / shriveled / molded? We're having an early spring, so I thought I might look to see if there's any new growth. Or would that do more harm than good?
