Our online store is opening for 2010 orders.
I am sorry that our online store (Dahlia Guy web site) has not been up and running. A family illness and death have necessitated my being out of state many times. Thankfully, things are getting back to normal and our inventory process is almost complete.
Check out our online store and place an order. A few of our offerings have limited quantities.

YouTube videos.
I have three videos on YouTube dealing with growing dahlias. These videos ARE NOT professional quality. These videos try to help the beginning or average dahlia grower as they grow their dahlias.
The first video is on how to divide the tubers in the fall. We made this video last October. Check out the video here: dividing tubers.
The second video is on how to plant tubers. Check out the video here: planting tubers.
The third video is on how to "top" or "stop" dahlias. Topping dahlias make the plant have more branches, stronger branches and more flowers. Check out the video here: topping dahlias.

Keep those tubers from freezing!!
Attention!! Keep your dahlia tuber from freezing. Freezing = dead!
I live in Washington State, near Tacoma. Winter has hit.
If you have your dahlia tubers stored in a garage:
1. Keep the storage boxes away from an uninsulated wall.
2. Cover the storage boxes with blankets for insulation.
3.Be careful about using heat sources in the garage--don't burn your house down. If the garage temperature drops to 32 degrees (yes, I have my outdoor remote for my thermometer in the garage for my dahlias) I use an electric heater for an hour (only if I am home and can monitor it).
4. I have my heating pad (used for my cuttings in the winter) on top of my storage boxes (and under the blankets) and run it from 4am to 5am.
If your tubers are still in the ground:
1. Put mulch over the tubers. The temperature is to drop to single digits in the coming days. Mulch can be straw, compost, etc.

Dahlia tuber dividing video
Hey there dahlia fans. Have you ever wondered how to divide your dahlia tubers? I have place a video on YouTube showing how to divide tubers. The video can be found here.
Also, check out my new web site--The Dahlia Guy.

Web site up and running
Check out my new web site (here). I am offering quality tubers at a rock-bottom price. Here is my thought process:
1. This is the first year that I am selling dahlia tubers. A good way to enter the market is to offer tubers at EXTREMELY reasonable prices.
2. Too many people are hesitant to grow dahlias because of the cost of the tubers. My first dahlia's were "no name" dahlias purchased at a "big box" store. I want people who grow dahlias for the first time to grow quality, named, dahlia varieties.
3. The economy is in the toilet. People are worried about their families and the economy. People will be cutting back on unnecessary expenditures. I find it is relaxing to come home from work and check out my dahlia garden. I want other people to experience the same type of relaxation and joy that dahlias bring me. I am offering inexpensive tubers to make this possible.
4. These tubers will not last long at this price. Order today.
Once again, check out The Dahlia Guy web site here.
