Large tubers, those several years old will have to be split some
people will advocate doing it straight after lifting when the stems

Mine should all be lifted by lunchtime. Would you split now or in early
spring - I have some sulphur BTW Thanks.

Spring sounds favourite thanks. Who knows, the discarded bits might win me
