Dahlias 🌸
In my very first year gardening, I tried growing dahlias — and failed miserably. I had endless bug issues, and when fall came, I couldn’t manage to store or divide the tubers successfully. This year, I decided to give them another try with just a few varieties — and to my surprise, they did so well. Hardly any pest problems at all! The blooms came later than I hoped, though I know the drought (and my lack of watering) played a part in that.
Still, I’m calling it a success. Once frost arrives, I’ll dig up the tubers, divide, and store them for winter. Fingers crossed I can keep them alive — because if I can, dahlias will definitely be part of next year’s u-pick garden.
Sooo, if you have successfully divided and stored dahlias, I need alll the tips!☺️
