I thought they were a lot of work too. Just don’t plant too many and it’s easy. We plant them in raised beds for cutting flowers. Much easier to dig up. 😀
If you have issues with desiccation of the tubers go get a bag of Pine Shavings for animal bedding and put the tubers in in a box filled with shavings. One box of shavings goes a LONG way lol watch out one dahlia can lead to a dahlia addiction!
Another good one sir they are very pretty ! Hope all is well . We got snow here in Maine have you gotten any there ? See you on the next one hope you do a live again !
Hi Bill, we got some snow on Thanksgiving, there's about an inch of frost in the ground. working on a live, have to schedule it ahead of time, which is always a challenge for me. thx! Eric.

The labs involved in everything... so accurate 😂
Have been a long time follower for over 5 years now - thank you so much for the wonderful videos! Hope you had a great Christmas.
Gosh they’re growing so fast. Love the dahlias too. Never knew this about Dahlias!
The Labs are about full grown now, but yeah, Dahlias are not hard. thx! Eric.
Love dahalias but winter care is why I've never had them. Think I'll try next year since you made it look so much easier than I thought it would be.

Can you store them in brown paper bags as long as the bad isn’t sealed up?
Not sure. I’ve alsways used plastic crates. 😀
so as you said, dahlias are potato family... are they edible?
Not sure about eating them. Best not to 😀 Eric.
They are edible. However not actually in the potato family (Solanum). They're related closer to the Jerusalum artichokes, and are in the Daisy family.
