This time comes every year and it makes me a little bit sad, but also it is a time to renew and make plans for next year and learn from the things that did and didn’t work. Also a time to reflect on everything that I am grateful for and all the amazing flowers that this garden provided us with. I am starting to prepare for next years garden as well as alot of clean up. Since this is my first year growing Dahlias I don’t know what to expect when I dig them up, but I have been reading a lot online to get somewhat prepared. We had one frost but I read that I should wait until I have 2 more. I have no idea if this is accurate information but it makes a little sense, so for now that is what Im doing. I made sure that I did label them with tags while the flowers were still in their recognizable stage so Im very happy that is one less thing to worry about because it can get confusing knowing what is what.
I am going to keep searching for information and hope to gain some clearer insight on what I should be doing. I think it is important to check as many resources as possible when looking for advice on gardening topics and make your decisions based on that knowledge.
So for now I am letting my tubers rest in the ground all dried and partially blackened until I am clear about what to do. It’s amazing that even when these flowers are dried they still look so beautiful!
