I have some blackberry plugs I won’t be able to get into the ground until the weekend. The supplier said they are dormant and to keep them in the fridge for up to a week before planting. They’re in there now bagged up. I’m wondering if it wouldn’t be better to put them outside and let them start waking up or just leave them in the fridge. I guess it’s better if they stay dormant to avoid transplant shock?

I have lots of experience putting fruits and vegetables in my fridge and know what they look like when they come out so I am thinking best to get them out sooner rather than later. I can keep them outside in wet shredded newspaper or something. Will this fuck them up?
