We wil have our first frost Thursday night so I plan to dig up my big Ice Cream during the day for storage i my garage.
How do I handle the corn, do I trim off most roots and wrap it in newspaper and burlap or how do I treat the corn and roots?

Do I cut the roots back slightly or how do you do?

I plan to cut off all blades except one.

Currently I am planning to dig up my biggest Gran Nain and my big Ice Cream and an unknown banana I have had for a year. This is the first time I am doing this so hence my question. I saw some postings before but they didn't go into detail on how to wrap the roots/corn.

Many thanks for a quick answer since frost is only 36 h left.
