    When you dig them up select the ones you wish to keep for seed, let them harden in the sunshine for a few days or even weeks. Once ripened place them in a frost free area, but somewhere thats cold. A home made clamp is ideal.
    Keep an eye on them in the spring and once they start chitting take them out of the clamp into another frost free area, but this time with plenty of light!
    Once well chitted they can be planted again.

    I have some Duke of York which I kept back last year chitting at the moment!
