Here I am to resurrect the thread that will not die. LOL!

I've been meaning to come on for awhile to enquire about when to dig any tubers that may have formed over the summer. Do I need to dig them before a frost?....before a freeze? Do they stop growing when the weather gets cool so I might as well dig them now?

But before I even got the chance to pose my query I found tubers! I was emptying out a pot that had contained some blackie SPV and low and behold there they were. They are quite small and I'm wondering if there's any point trying to save them. What do you guys think?

And my final question is HOW to save them. Where do I want to store them, at what temp, etc? I have lots and lots of vine that was planted directly in the ground, so I'm thinking (hoping) that if I found tubers in my little pot, there's bound to be more in that mountain o' vines in the ground.
