wait for the begonias to die off, take them out and put them into a box somewhere frost free, next spring just rub off the remaining soiland start all over again by potting them up. the stems will just fall off when they have finsihed this autumn

Thank you Val,would a plastic box be OK,or should they be wrapped in paper or covered in some way.

any box will do, even a cardboard box, just store the corms until next year, I made a mistake by keeping a tray full near the garage door and last winter's cold killed them all, so back of the garage is best, you can cover them in straw or paper,we keep ours from year to year and they are always lovely, anything else please just ask.

Thanks Yorkshire, as always you are very good.
