      Hi Grasser
      I grew them last year and exactly the same thing happened,just leave them and they should be ok as mine were.

        You can earth up if you want, but they will be fine on top of the soil. They don't seem to suffer from "greening" like carrots and spuds.

          But they do suffer from being eaten by slugs and pecked by birds so I would earth up for their own protection.
