The last of the dahlias have been tucked in

Even though we had some freezing nights and a few snowfalls already, the last of the dahlias were tucked in just this past week. There was no damage from the last few that were outside, altho a couple that were in pots (not in the ground) were a little squishy. I hope they make it.


Most of the dahlias were dug several weeks ago, labeled and marked, placed in buckets, and then covered with peat moss. These were in the garage, apparently undamaged, but now have been moved to the basement.

Our early winter cut the gardening season short... but we've had some warmer days which were used to take down the rest of the garden.
