We read that it's good to soak crowns right before planting for 24 hours or less. We put them in water last night because we planned to plant them this morning. However, we had a heavy rain last night. Can't plant in bed when it's so wet. It will make the soil clump because we have a clay type soil-- even though we have added mulched leaves. Afraid it will be hard lumps if try to dig it wet. What do we do with crowns? Let them dry out? Continue soaking them? Plant them in wet bed (raised bed)?
