Moved to a flat
We downsized end of last year to a flat that has a small court yard type space which we have made into a container garden.
we successfully raised some tulips in the containers,which now need removing.
i can’t leave them in the garden as there Is no room but I would like to save the bulbs if that is possible.
i do have a garage.
would it be best to just store the containers in the garage or take bulbs out of the containers and store.
thanks in advance,

Have they done this?
i know that they need to die down but am unsure of the next step re storing.
The only ones that get better year on year are the small 'species' type, which can form a small clump, but you have to leave them alone, not lift them after they flower.
If you want to have bulbs to re-use, plant them in a plastic pot that you drop into your courtyard 'show' pot, then lift the whole lot out when they go over and stand the plastic potful behind something to let them die back naturally. Next spring you can swap them back to the front again. It works better with daffs than tulips, IME
