Thank you for another great video. As a novice to dahlia growing but loving every minute of it (been a gardener for over 30 years but never through I liked them... how wrong was I !! ) I just spent the afternoon labelling all my dahlias, wondering what to do about digging them up as there doesn't seem to be any sign of frost coming . Your well timed video gave me the answer. Thanks again look forward to your next one

Thank you so very much for these very helpful videos. How do you decide if you are going to split these dahlias into singles or bunches, or leave the whole tuber as is over winter?

I just pulled up a Dahlia with gull, is there somethingng I should do to sterilize the dirt?
