Dahlia Society meets at Dick Taylor's garden at 1:00 pm to a warm November 9th day to help divide the tubers. The tubers were designated the green ones on the floor of the garage that were positively identified and the red ones in wheel barrow's on his side yard where their identify was uncertain. What a variety he shares of healthy looking tubers.

Dick's Daughters help after they dug up all the dahlias and arranged the garage floor.
Check out the highlights of our 2 some odd hours spent cutting, visiting, packaging and storing. I frankly learned allot about dividing from these experts. Dick has so graciously donated his dahlias to our Spring Tuber sale for 2020. He has a tremendous selection and if they store well we will have some great choices. Thanks Dick and Marilyn for making this a fun event for all of us.
