If the leaves have started to fall over and turn yellow it is time to get them up.

Don't cut the leaves off, it just makes them harder to find.

Remove them from the ground, shake off the majority of soil, put them inside on newspaper or cardboard to dry. After the leaves have completely dried pop them into a paper bag and label the bag in big dark letters. Store them where you will see the bag once in awhile.

Do not remove the leaves. It is easier to find the top of the bulb when it is time to replant.
