Every spring the pressure comes on. Our dahlia tubers are sprouting- coming up for air.
Our serious passion for dahlias this year has out grown us. From the 800 row ft of gopher wire protected nursery beds we planted last year, we have thousands, literally thousands of tubers. It's almost laughable. With no tractor in sight, we've been digging beds by hand (and- soil forgive our sins, a rototiller) for almost a month now. We're set to have somewhere around a quarter of an acre of dahlias. Lord have mercy on our souls. For anyone in the area between July and October- do come by and pick a bunch for your sweetheart.
