With the long weekend, it was time to get the big job of digging up, dividing and putting the dahlias tubers to bed for the winter. You can leave them in the ground over winter but there is risk of them rotting if we have a very wet winter and they arenโt protected. I also wanted to dig them up so that I can divided them up to hopefully get many more dahlias growing next season . From the 45 plants we had , we got about 250 tubers. So hopefully many of those grow successfully next season. It took a minute, hence the long post, but with some luck itโll pay off ๐ค๐ฝ๐ค๐ฝ
