Christmas has become synonymous with dahlia dividing for me. I put on a favorite Christmas movie and settle in with my snips for a few hours to get them all cut, labeled and snuggled into vermiculite for the winter. My collection has multiplied every year, so this year it was a multi-day activity but still pleasant, and even relaxing.
Unfortunately I lost some varieties this year due to my soil issues, but I’m excited to work with this year to get that resolved! Plus, losing varieties meant I got to spend some time shopping sales this year without feeling guilty😉😂
