Ok some people may have received a small jiffy bag with some dirty twigs in it. . . . What do you do now.
What I've done with mine is to put them in 6" pots covered with moist John Innes No.3 (one per pot). The pots have gone into a plastic box sat on some straw (or use bubble wrap etc), and I have then covered then with straw and bubble wrap to protect them from the frost . . . I'll leave them like that until March when I will put them outside. When there is evidence of growth, then they will get planted out in the final positions . . . Which gives me the chance to dig a lot of horse sh!t into the bed.
Alternatively you can plant then out directly into the soil . . . I'd go for about 4 inches deep, and cover the soil with a good layer of straw for frost protection. . . The only real issue would be water logging if your soil is not free draining.
For the time being you need to dig a lot of organic matter in the soil, fuggles grows rampant and needs a lot of nutrients to support that.
