I looked into it for you, just take the bulbs in for next year. The greens are too hard to save.

I just pulled ours out this weekend. Leave the dirt on the bulbs and wait for it to dry. Knock off the dirt and put the bulbs in storage for next year. The stalks are only good to provide food for the bulbs. Once the the leaves have withered and the stalks lose their color somewhat dig out the bulbs.
