Here's the answer to your gardening question...

You asked:

Should I lift and store lily bulbs or leave them in their pots?

Our Advice:

If the bulbs have been in the same pots for more than one season It is better to lift them. Cut off the dead stems and empty the pots. Dry the bulbs and brush off any soil and dead roots. Store them in paper bags in a cool, dark, frost-free place. Replant them next spring.
