Tracy, if they look decent to start they should hold well if not in direct sunlight. I would leave them in the shade/indirect light the whole time or just let them have a few hours of early morning light. I would expect them to handle a week to ten days wait easily so long as you change the water regularly and keep it from getting too hot. I think you are right that you don;t wnat them too bunched up either.

I am sure you know that if you want that manure to get past this then just like the compost pile you don't want to get it "too wet". Given your location and your experience with manure that's probably not likely but I thought it wouldn't hurt to say I'm really sorry to hear you are having trouble.

I am still waiting on my plants. I have a narrow bed to work with so I am going with Bush Porto Rico.
