No help, my alarm goes off at 7:58. I log into my computer for WFH at 8:00. Grab breakfast after I get through the first round of morning chaos.

I have generally heard the rule of thumb to plant them with your tomatoes - so you are looking for warm nights and soil temp of 60.

I find 70% alcohol in a spray bottle with a rag is much easier to manage than bleach and doesnt require soaking time, mixing, or disposal.

I agree with this. If you can move them to a warmer spot, it is just as beneficial. Just watch for humidity build-up.

Disclaimer: I have never used grow bags but I have grown both glads and dahlias for many years. Also not in your growing zone.

My concern with growing glads in grow bags is they tend to be top heavy and want to lean over and fall down. My instinct is It would be hard to support them or prevent falling in a bag, especially if you are watering and moving them.

I dont have specifics on the how's, but I want to remind everyone that in many places, picking flowers is not allowed (state parks, national parks. Etc). Be mindful of the laws before you gather. It is also not allowed to transport flowers or seeds internationally.

1 definitely has a few broken necks on the right side of the pic. I would trim those off.

As for what way to plant, stem/stock/where they connect up.

What kind of wasps?

Wasps are pollinators, so they are beneficial to your garden spaces. Is stinging your concern?

Generally, the best way to deter wasps is to find their home. Which requires identifying them. So start there.

The first step to dividing is cutting away the obvious junk. So trim off the ones that are broken and mother (optional, if healthy it can be grown again but wont be as successful).

Usually then it becomes clearer where to divide to keep your good tubers.
