The dahlias are coming out one row at a time. I will have 5 of the 19 rows at by the end of the day.
Progress is happening. One row at a time.
What kinds of videos would you like to see along the way?

Pinching dahlias!!
I’m in zone 6 and I started planting my dahlia tubers in the field in mid-May and ended June 1.
This video shows how I pinch dahlias and why I pinch. These dahlias specifically were planted about 5 1/2 weeks ago. Some of the plants are still small while others are over 2 feet tall.
The dahlias that I planted earlier in the field were pinched weeks ago and buds are already forming on the lateral shoots.

Growing dahlias from tubers, taking cuttings from a tuber and taking cuttings from a cutting.
Wow! What fun!!!
I’m totally obsessed with growing dahlias. I can’t wait to show you all my new babies.

Dahlia tuber check in!!
I store my tubers at 36-44 degrees and at least 85 percent humidity to keep the tubers firm.
I’m in zone 6 in CT, USA.

Dividing dahlias… and more dahlias.
Many of you know I love dahlias…. I’m totally passionate about growing healthy dahlias, feeding the soil for the future, learning about organic farming practices, making sure my flowers and tubers are top quality.
I grow only the amount of dahlias that I can comfortably inspect, maintain and ensure proper health. I hand dig all the dahlias at the end of the season. Wash and divide them and store them carefully throughout the winter. I check on them weekly.
Dahlias are worth the effort…. I adore them and I Iove sharing them with you.
I would enjoy your feedback on this video. More videos will be coming soon.

I will let you all know what the final expenses are and the amount of time it took to get us where we are now! It’s been a journey. But the dahlias will be happy and that means I’m happy which means my family is happy!!! And ultimately that means you will be happy when my tubers reach your gardens in 2022.
I’m updating the dahlia tuber shop soon. Keep an eye out for the new 50+ varieties I’ll be offering for sale in early 2022.

Skipley Spot of Gold dahlia.
Hands down one of my top twenty favorites! I never can get enough of her petal shape, her perfect size, perfect form, tips of gold, depth of color, long stems, healthy plants….. she is a dream.
I’m feeling very fortunate that my dahlia plants are healthy and thriving through this incredibly challenging growing season. It’s not over yet and the great dig has yet to begin… until then… all I want to do is be in the field with these gorgeous dahlias and soaking up their beauty I have worked sooo hard for. I appreciate all your support. Without you, I wouldn’t be able to expand and share all of nature’s beauty. You are helping me be a better flower farmer and helping me share my passion along the way. And lastly, you are helping me financially support our family. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Bahama Mama Dahlia!
Check out this fun dahlia. She is such a treat to grow. Her colors change with temperature a bit and sometimes her curls are nutty like this one.
What varieties do you like to grow that are a little bit wild?

Verkist glacier dahlia
This is the proper spelling, I often mis pronounce names of dahlias. I’m sorry. Spelling is not my strong suit 😀.
This white dahlia came to me as a free one. I have been growing her for years and she gets better and better every season. I’m hoping she makes some awesome tubers for me. I’m going to try to take some cuttings this spring to see if I can build up some stock. She is a perfect bridal bouquet dahlia. The florist love her when I have them.
What do you think of this white #dahlia? Can you help classify her for me.
