a few days ago I brought in the tubers for two dahlias…

I wasn’t able to dig up the third one, so I went out this afternoon to see if I could get them out of the planter they were in…

I removed soil, and tried to dig around the tubers… my trowel just wasn’t strong enough to get them out… finally I got the shovel and after a ton of effort, was able to finally remove them… there are a lot…

I have brought them in to dry and will then bag in paper and store in the basement… hopefully they will turn into more Mick’s Peppermint in the spring…

and while I was outside working, my neighbour brought me a final pail of tomatoes… most are green and I’ve put them on the dining room table so they can ripen…
