Cheers Keely. All down to your tip-off, thank you 💞 As far as dahlias go, it's going to be (mostly) out with the old & in with the new this year! @Keely 😊👍

😂😂 that’s where I’m off too as the Dahlias that I dug up to sore overwinter I didn’t clean the soil off or wrap them up or put into boxes just left them in the garage needless to say they are all rotten now 🙁 my own fault just ran out of time they were my favourite ones which I shall have to order more of them but going to wilkos to get some other ones for my boarders 👍🏻

I decided that after poor results for the last 2 years, I decided that I wasn't going to bother bringing most of mine in for winter & get some new ones. The Wilkos nearest to me didn't have a huge choice, but happy with these 3 👍 @nessas

Lovely choices. I'm hoping mine in the shed are ok. I must have a peep in the box some time ☺️

Thanks @susanhumphrey333 & @cyndi Sue, I think I'd be having a peep, I always kept mine wrapped in newspaper in a box in the loft so they'd not freeze

Don't tell me that Jeff. I'm scared to look now 😂🙄😏 They are wrapped up well and the shed is my warmer one so fingers crossed
