How We're Digging and Storing our Dahlia Tubers This Winter!

As we near the end of our season, we’ve started clearing and cleaning up the garden in preparation for next year's flowers.

Because we're located in a colder growing zone (Zone 5b), our dahlia tubers will not survive the winter here in the ground and so we have to dig and then store these tubers until it’s time to plant them again in the spring.

Today we're going to go ahead and get started digging! Of course, I thought I’d take you guys along with me so you can see the entire process of how we do it.
