I didn't dig out all the roots when I grew them before. Not sure I could
have dug them all out the way those things grow unless I dug deep into
every inch of the bed. That was in Florida where they basically grew year
round, so I'm not sure what I'll find here, but my inclination certainly
is to leave them where they are and let 'em grow! 

I dried whatever we couldn't eat and then reconstituted them later with
enough water to make a puree. Seemed to work fine. But my kids gobbled
them up, and I seldom had much extra.
