Hello
I purchased my first EE late this summer and it has grown quite a bit since then (it was just a little thing when I got it so it's not as big and majestic as what I've seen but it's on it's way!) My question is that I have read over and over again that I should wait until the first frost kills the top foliage before I cut off the leaves and dig the corm and store it for the winter. Only problem is after a first frost and a supposed "killing forst" last night it is still green. It's still somewhat growing...but VERY slowly. The new growth you see in the picture link has looked like that for several weeks now. Can I just dig it and store it now or should I just keep it outside until the foliage dies back?
Thanks so much!
