Pots full of nuttin'

[westernind]

This one's for you gardeners out there.

My Crocus order arrived this afternoon (huzzah!) in time for planting out over Easter, if it wasn't so cold and wet (boo!). The plants are all in good nick, except for the three polygonatum x hybridum (Common Solomon's Seal). Those plants aren't in bad nick; they're not in any sort of nick (unless it be the past tense) because they are not there.

I haven't actually plunged my hand into the soil looking for shoots or bulbs in case I damage anything. Should there be something there? Surely they wouldn't send me pots of soil?

Should I plant the contents of the pots (and in the course of doing so, presumably find out what's in there)? Or leave the pots on the side until something green appears?

I'd leave it somewhere sheltered in its pot.
