Are you growing Dahlias? Tell us about your experiences, good or bad!

I learned so much, thank you! I used to just plant the whole tuber together never dividing them

[@MoorfieldFarmFlowers]

Thanks Toya, glad you found it useful, and good luck with your growing.

Great vid with loads of info ;) im digging my dahlias and some od the tubers are monsters, dividing saves do much space 👍

[@MoorfieldFarmFlowers]

Thanks KaBoogi, it's kind of you to comment. Yes ease of storage and lower risk of rot are two great advantages of the method.

My grandmother used to cut the "easy" tubers off and leave the "hard" to get to tubers all together in a clump, the clumps went into her "seed garden" and the single tubers went to "production" or for sale.

Hi Stephen, sounds like a great idea!

Is there any chance that a slightly soft tuber would be viable next spring? or should I just get rid of them now?

[@MoorfieldFarmFlowers]

Hi Darrin, thanks for your question. Given that tubers usually rot from the inside out, the rot is already well advanced by the time softness is felt. I'm afraid disposal is the only option. There is a video going out at noon today where I dissect rotten tubers, if you want to take a look.
