Begonia non stop tubers

Hi
40 non stop begonia tubers have just arrived. It’s way too cold to plant them outside in the hanging baskets I have planned for them. I do not have a greenhouse and all suitable windowsills are already full of other plants so I can’t really start them indoors.

How shall I store the begonias until the weather warms?
also I could start them in pots but they would have to be stored in the shed which does not have windows so no light ( unless I leave the door open) but is a bit warmer.

It’s my first time with Begonias. Hope they look good in baskets?
Any advice much appreciated

I start mine in seed trays, just lay them on top of some compost and push in very gently. Don’t let water get on the top of the corms.
I don’t think outside in a shed is warm enough yet.
Have you got a spare table or cupboard top indoors you could put seed trays on for now.
They really need to be got going.
Thank you for the advice. I have pushed them down into seed trays and found a windowsill to put them on. As advised.
When you first take them out of your baskets, do check for vine weevil grubs, also check the bottoms of the corns, the little wotsits burrow in!
