Yesterday we dug all our dahlia tubers and I can’t get over how amazing they were this year! Over last winter we lost all of our thousands of stored dahlias, probably to a freeze, and reached out to community for help. Strangers like and gave us tubers, friends like .pa and gave us extras, and random people would come up to me at markets and say, i heard you need tubers, here’s some, handing me a box of dahlias. It was such a sweet outpouring of love and support and abundance! We watched the dahlias grow all year and were surprised with every new bloom. I mean, those giant yellow dahlias, I would have never bought them, but I love them! The cycles now complete, the dahlias are dug and tucked away, and I’ll be spending more time keeping an eye on them, and asking my close butler peeps to stop by when the temps get low to help us keep the barn basement at a balmy 40-50 degrees. It takes a village, and I’m grateful for that connection that plants provide us with. Next year spring, if you need any extra tubers, we got you!
