This morning we woke to the first frost of this autumn/winter.
I’m thankful for it in a way because now I can dig up any Dahlia’s that I want to put in to store. It probably wouldn’t have mattered had I dug them up with the tops still green but the traditional way is to let them get blackened by the frost first. I probably won’t be digging up all the tubers as most of them seem to survive when left in the ground but I will definitely be digging up and storing at least one tuber of each variety and any that I want to increase by cuttings next spring.

You are right, I will do so by taking a few cuttings, hopefully around March time if they have put up shoots by then.
