Re: Dahlias. I only know what I’ve read on the WWW. I had a stellar Dahlia season - they are still blooming like crazy, and I just buy the $5 packs from Walmart and start them ahead of time in pots in my greenhouse. I don’t bother saving the tubers because they’re so cheap to buy each spring. Same with Gladiolus.

Anyhow, it looks pretty easy. Make sure you store them somewhere cool, but that they don’t freeze:

Thank you. The Spruce article was nice, will try one of their suggestions. I did a lot of research on this last year but the wood shavings pulled all the moisture out of the tubers. Will give storage another try. I have some really spectacular varieties to save.

😊
