Thanks all for the advise,I have them in the coolest part of the house at
the moment.I have one of the four tier mini greenhouses without the plastic
cover as this ripped,the frame/shelves I have put in my unheated greenhouse
for use as staging I could cover this with fleece to protect the tubers?I
should really have used bubble insulation in my unheated greenhouse but
haven't had the greenhouse up for long so haven't got round to it would this
be enough protection?

unheated shed & greenhouse but these go below zero occasionally,like
last
night when we get a heavy frost!I have a heated greenhouse which
doesn't go
below 55f but on a sunny day can reach 80f,would they be O.K in here?

I started mine in a heated greenhouse at around 70 degrees. They were
all ( apart from Pink Fir Apple which is only now starting ) sprouting
within a week. I've then moved them into an unheated greenhouse which
just about hits 0 to slow them down and they're progressing nicely. You
could make a fleece enclosure for the nighttime if you're really
worried.
