What Is a Dahlia Tuber?
It is amazing to think that everything a dahlia needs to begin another season is waiting inside that humble little tuber! A dahlia tuber is the thickened underground root that helps a dahlia plant store the energy it needs to grow. During the growing season, a dahlia...
Simple and Colorful Six-Dahlia Flat Lay
Have you ever made a dahlia flat lay (aka "flatlay" according to Cambridge Dictionary, but I usually stick with two words here)? It's easy to do with your extra blooms or "deadheads." Your flowers don't even need to look great on the back for this project! They just...
How We Pivoted After Our High Tunnel Calamity

Pinch to Keep Dahlias Blooming Consistently

How We Grow Dahlias from Seed
https://vimeo.com/711318190 We hybridize and save our own dahlia seed each year, then plant it the next season to develop new dahlias. (It looks a lot like zinnia seed, and it is planted in a similar way.) We start our seeds in late winter in the greenhouse, 1 seed...

Easing Gently Into 2022
I’m uncharacteristically resisting the urge to mark the “days until” all our major farm events coming later this year… just not quite yet. I’m resting, waiting, holding fast. I’m making sure to fill up my own cup, breathing deeply in my own oxygen mask, soaking in the...
