If it was me I would dig them up and dry them off. Then chit next year for planting out. But I am only guessing.....I'd like to see if I'm right or not :-\

Im glad Im not the only person to have taken a photo of a pile of spuds!

My friend was looking at the pictures on my phone the other day and was most amused to come across a snap of a carrier bag with muddy spuds in it!  Im sure he thinks im odd.

I inherited a few plants with the plot.  I banked the soil up around the plants, but they soon died and I guessed they wouldnt provide much.  Like you I was quite surprised when I turned the area over and found masses of spuds!  No clue what vareity they are,  but Im sure they will taste good :D
