Well before you know it, it's that time of year already.
Still undecided where to put mine, the frost this morning has just started to blacken the foliage.
The car port is always sheltered from frost despite still being outside so I'm thinking there. Shed would have been an obvious choice but that can get surprisingly moist.
Is just above freezing but dry acceptable? I'll struggle to meet the ideal temperature of 4-7 degrees from what I've read.
I wrap mine in newspaper and they are stored in boxes, in the porch.
That is exactly what I do doc. Dry them out well first, I balance them upside down on the GH bench, check for vine weevil, they get right in the tubers but you will spot a little hole, poke a toothpick or similar in there and pick him out.
Just to add, the ones in the ground get left and mulch piled on, I only bring in the ones in pots.

Will likely go for a mix of dry MPC and perlite.
