I leave them till the first light frosts cut them back. Remove any remaining stalks, lift and remove all the soil. You store them dry in a well ventilated frost free place. I do the above then store them all in a big pot without any soil - spraying with water in early spring to stop them drying out too much.

I stand mine on top of dry soil or sand in a frost free place away from mice.
