I pulled them up all as the tops had fallen over  and the stems were all dry and I left them to dry in the sun (haha) but now it has rained so shall I now bring them home to dry out or will they be ok ??

It's really all about the weather; they will dry out quicker in the open air if it is warm and sunny than in an enclosed space.

Your weather, your decision (but either way it is important that they are properly dried before storage!)

ok so the rain wont start to make them rot ?? I will probably bring them home next week as I am going away.
