when do you know if they are ready? they are dads, in a very large pot mum and dad keep asking me how long have they got to wait, impatient lol, i said i think they be ready in october?
dd
They will be ready when the foliage starts to die down and turns yellow.
When they are BIG!
If you dig some out before they are big, pretend they are new!
If you dig them out before that ,pretend they are peas!
If the dog digs them out before that, then call it your new football pitch.
good luck
the leaves have started to yellow this week

They can be left in for quite some time; but Dahlia's formula is a good one.
No more sunlight; no more increase.
You can cut the tops off and leave them for a fortnight for the skins to set.
OR
Pick them now,but be careful or you may rub the skins off.
