What did you do in the garden today?

I just found these dormant plant things at TSC for 75% off, making them like $2 a piece.

If they're like the plants I see this time of year in TSC, they are VERY dried out. Get them in some water.

Like just plant them all in little pots inside for a while maybe? OK, thank you!

Picked wax and green beans. Found a couple stink bugs, and the Dominiques were appreciative. Mowed part of the yard, watered the melon plants and some flowers.

Oh yeah, I saw some lightning bugs last night. And during the day many ladybugs which I love! Eat those aphids cute ladies!

I have seen more lady bugs this year than ever. I'm loving it I have ordered those little buggars for a few years now.

I ran a few more lines of tubing for my drip irrigation system.

Hello!
I've lurked on this thread before and I know you guys are super knowledgeable. I love gardening and plants but I'm definitely an amateur, haha. Anyway, I was hoping you guys could give me some advice. I just found these dormant plant things at TSC for 75% off, making them like $2 a piece. I got five different things just for fun. Thing is I have no clue what to do with them for them to grow most effectively. Or at all. Do these things even survive usually? Should I start them in pots inside for a while? Keep them inside all the time? I live in Northern South Dakota, so we're zone 3-4. I think all the ones I got should be ok except possibly the blackberry. We have brutal winters here.
So... Here are pictures of the labels. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Some are already growing a bit.

Thank you!!!

Wow you got a great deal @MGG !
Do you have somewhere to over winter them in pots? If not I'd plant them in the ground.

I really like MiGardener. He's got a ton of great advice. Because of his advice I've been able to grow huge yields from my raised beds year after year, plus grow all year long!

I've been growing food for a long time but not as efficiently as I have since watching his guides. I don't do everything he does, totally different soil, climate, water.... But his experience has helped me grow. Pun intended.
