Do I dig them up and cut off the stalks or wait for them to completely go into the ground and then dig them up? Westchester, NY.

I would actually look here, Dave's Garden or google it!! There probably is something about this in Gardening 'How To' here?? Ask Bill!! hehehe Apparently what he doesn't know he can find out!!

I was also told to make sure I get all the dirt off of them before storing. I am storing in brown paper bags in a room that stays around 55 degrees F. I hope this helps.
