DIGGING IS OFFICIALLY DONE!!!

Spent the majority of the weekend digging, washing, dividing, and prepping my dahlia tubers for storage or sales. As much it is laborious and tedious, it was nice to feel the sun on my face and breathe the fresh air.

Digging these babies up is one of the most fun parts of the process. To see how much these babies have grown all summer is just delightful! This year the eyes on most of them really popped out to me. My organization, the tools, and the process itself has become more of a routine than it is a challenge or questionable. I feel much more confident this year than I ever have.

All tubers are dug, two rounds (1 round=somewhere bt 18-24 tubers) are washed, trimmed, divided, and packaged for either personal growth or selling. One round is ready for packaging. And another larger round I have only dug and need to go through the whole process. Once those are done, I am officially done with the manual labor of my babies which is very exciting to have to look forward to!

As I am dividing and storing, I am taking inventory of all that was successfully grown and dug in preparation for my dahlia tuber sale. I’m hoping to have my tuber sale start up on Friday! So stay tuned! I’m grateful to be bringing my blooms to your garden!

Here is my tutorial on digging, dividing, and storing. I will be digging my babies up hopefully this weekend! Please reach out if you have any questions!! I’m always here to help answer any questions.

Just a reminder, this has been the method that has worked for me in the past. There are plenty of other methods of storing. Happy digging all!

Trim day for my dahlia babies! Lost them all on this past hard frost. It’s been an amazing year and I have learned so much. Thank you to all who have supported the beginning of this journey. So many emotions when a season comes to an end but looking forward to one step putting these babies to rest. Will post in a couple days about digging, dividing, and storing. But for now, they rest for a week or two as is to prepare themselves for dormancy. As they vet their hair cut, they will now start to thicken their skins, produce more visible eyes and start storing all nutrients in their bodies. They are pretty amazing to grow and have brought me and so many others joy this season. Be prepared for upcoming tuber sale as well in next couple weeks. 😁🤗🫶

The sun is shinin, the dahlias still bloomin, but we have our first hard frost tonight. I am going to lose some of them but it’s time to let them go. I’m still prob going to put up some frost cloths tonight on the ones I might be able to save but at this point, might cut the stalks the ones I am not going to save to do my harvesting in two rounds as I have a lot more dahlias this year than the previous. I will post later today on how to dig, divide, and store your tubers if that is something your wanting to do. Come join us tomorrow at our 3rd Annual Co****le Tournament for Justin Kreider Music Never Stopped Scholarship Foundation. I will be bringing some vases for sale with half the proceeds going to the foundation to provide a graduating Saratoga HS student scholarship money who is pursuing their education in music. Happy Saturday all!

🌸🍂 DAHLIA LOVERS! It’s Time to Start Preparing Those Tubers for Winter! 🍂🌸

With our first hard frost approaching, or if you’re simply ready to wrap up your growing season as I know some of you have been asking, it’s time to start the process of putting those beautiful dahlias to bed for the winter! 🥹🌸

I’m going to share my process step by step, starting with

Part 1: Cutting Back Your Dahlias! ✂️

🌼 STEP 1: Check Your Labels!

Before cutting anything, make sure your dahlias are properly labeled if you want to keep track of your varieties! Trust me, once those beautiful blooms and stems are gone, it’s nearly impossible to tell who’s who! Make sure your labels will stay with the tubers throughout the digging and storage process.

✂️ STEP 2: Cut Those Stems!

After your first hard frost has blackened the foliage, or when you’re ready to call it a season, cut the entire plant down near soil level. I like to cut just above the soil, leaving a short section of stem to mark where the tubers are underground with their labels attached still.

🌱 STEP 3: Let Them REST!

Here’s the part that surprises some people… don’t dig them up just yet!

I like to leave my tubers in the ground for about a week after cutting them back, weather permitting.

Why?! 🤔

This resting period gives the tubers a little extra time to finish maturing. As the growing season ends, the plant has been storing energy in those tubers to help it survive dormancy and fuel next year’s growth. Allowing them a little extra time in the ground may help their skins toughen up and help their eyes become more visible which can improve their ability to withstand winter storage.

Think of it as their final little preparation before their long winter nap!

🌸 COMING NEXT!

I’ll be sharing the next steps soon: DIGGING, DIVIDING & STORING your dahlia tubers so you can enjoy these beauties again next year!

I wanted to get this first part out for anyone who’s ready to start the process!

It’s always bittersweet saying goodbye to dahlia season, but knowing what those little tubers are capable of next year makes it a little easier! 💕

I am using last years pics to show the cutting process as I am waiting a bit to cut myself.

5 freshly cut bouquets out! Come get them while they last!

Frost cloth success! Prob didn’t even need them ! Got down to 33 and only really had slight frost damage on the cloth that touched them. Can’t believe how late these things are going and don’t see much sign of frost in the future! I will be posting my fall dahlia tuber sale eventually but I am waiting until hard frost to cut and then takes about a week and a half for me to dig, divide and take inventory. For those of you dahlia lovers that are just done and want to dig, I will post the process throughout the weekend of what to do but for me…still continuing to enjoy these babies as long as I can. 😁
