Hi mothergoose, Your tuber problem could be one thing or a combination of things....... Some growers dig their tubers up too soon in the Fall.... I wait 'til the first VERY HARD frost when the whole plant is greasy, black Banana peel texture.....and the tubers have matured. If you dig...

Dahlias!!!!! I just love 'em......have had them since 1962. I started with two varieties and progressed to over 200 different varieties.....4 plants became 2,000 plus plants. I love ALL flowers.....but the Dahlia has ALWAYS been my all time favorite.....

Hi lesa, We had 81 degrees here yesterday in Northern Michigan...all time record highs here....I've never seen a March so warm. My front lawn is all green and two weeks ago we had 18 inches of snow in one night. You could start some Dahlias in containers.....I don't know if I would plant...

The week end before last we had 18 inch snow fall in one night.....and yesterday here in Northern Michigan it was 60 degrees......I'm hoping this very unusual weather stays for a long time. I've got about 40-50 lambs expected this next month and shortly after that...about 2,000 Dahlia tubers...

Hi Jon and other Dahlia fans, Yes.....I will have some Tubers for sale.....which varieties and how many that will be available will not be decided 'til I go thru my stock. I love this weather now......maybe we'll have an early Spring and I will be able to plant tubers a few weeks sooner...

scotexpat....I forgot about your other question....sorry!:( I have a few tubers that I've started for a customer already......you can start some now.....but they'll grow quickly and up and out of the pots really fast. If I want 18 in. plants that look healthy and ready to go to a customer...
