The message
from Chris French and Helen Johnson
contains these words:

At the end of the season (and before
any frost) dig the roots up and store them over winter in dry sand in a
cool place which will not freeze.

There was a 'members experiment' in the HDRA mag, ISTR that the general
feeling was that while it did work, and theplanst were a little
eralier, it was a bit unreliable, and not really worth the effort.

I've always found it very well worth the effort, both with the earlier
and the much bigger crop.

(Killed by an early frost last year, but *THIS* year I'll be a bit more
careful.)
