Day 5 of Dahlia digging and splitting. Shout out to my friend Patty Munro for guiding me through this nerve wracking task. Appreciate you Patty! I’ve got about 15 more to split. Then I’ll be able to store them after they dry out. And a special Birthday shout out to my Dahlia security team! Sweet Gunner!

🌸🌱 The Little Dahlia That Could! 😂

Well, here’s a surprise!

Today I went to get the sawdust to pack away our dahlia tubers for the winter, and look what I found!

This little guy was left behind in the sawdust from LAST WINTER! It sat there all spring and summer, never got planted, never got watered, and apparently never got the memo that winter is coming again! 😂

And now, here it is, SPROUTING! 🌱

Here’s something interesting about dahlias. Their tubers store energy that allows them to survive dormancy and eventually produce new growth. Even though this tuber looks completely dried out and shriveled, it clearly still has some life left in it!

A good reminder that just because a dahlia tuber looks like a dried-up potato doesn’t necessarily mean it’s dead! If it’s still firm and has a viable eye, there’s hope!

Now I’m tempted to pot this determined little survivor up and see what happens!

After sitting in sawdust for nearly a year, I think it’s earned a second chance! 😂🌸

Good job Mad Mower! AKA Dad!

Well, I did NOT get the W today! 🤦‍♀️🌸 The dahlias won this round! 😂

What I did get was a nice slash on my finger from my clippers! ✂️🩸 Soooo… tomorrow I’ll be right back at it, splitting more dahlia tubers!

Let me tell you, this is a LONG process, but I do enjoy the challenge. Every tuber needs three things to produce a new plant: a body (or what my Dad referred to tonight as a “potato” 🥔😂), a neck, and an eye. Miss just one of those three, and you won’t have a dahlia blooming next summer!

Now, when you’re dealing with the MASSIVE clumps of tubers that I left in the ground for two years, figuring out exactly where to make those cuts is like solving a puzzle… with sharp clippers! 😳

I’m just praying I’m doing it right! 🙏🌸 I guess we’ll find out in the spring!

One thing is for sure… these dahlias are making me earn every single bloom for 2027! 🌺💪

🌸 Dahlias are officially out of the ground! ✅

Next up… pulling drip tape, removing T-posts, rolling up netting, and then the big job of storing and splitting all those dahlia tubers!

This entire field is getting a makeover for 2027, and I already have so many ideas! 🌱🌸

It’s a LOT of work, but I’ll take a day covered in dirt out in this field over sitting on a Zoom call any day! 😂

Here’s to big plans, sore muscles, and an even better growing season in 2027! 🌼🌿

Day 2 Dahlia dig! Going for the win today. All of the out of the ground!!! Wish me luck!

10/26/2026

🌸 The 2026 Dahlia Dig Has Begun! 🌸

And just like that, another beautiful dahlia season has come to an end! 🍂

Time to dig, divide, label, and store all those precious tubers so we can enjoy even more gorgeous blooms next year!

It’s a lot of work, a whole lot of dirt, and always a few surprises when we see what’s been growing underground! 😂

Thankfully, I’ve got my four-legged supervisor keeping a close eye on things! 🐾❤️

Here’s to dreaming of bigger, better, and even more colorful blooms in 2027! 🌺🌸

My ranunculus corms are getting their 3-hour soak before planting today! 🌸🌱

I just love these little things! They look like tiny octopuses! 🐙😂 It’s hard to believe something so funny-looking will turn into such gorgeous flowers.

Getting them tucked in for winter and dreaming of beautiful blooms in early spring! 🌷💕

This might be my favorite bouquet ever! Look for these magic feathers! They are milkweed seeds! I’m determined to grow more milkweed the mad mower can’t get to next summer! If you have some on your property, I’m happy to harvest them for you!

🌸🦋 Coming Spring 2027 to Creekside Flower Farm! 🦋🌸

Just because the frost has arrived and our flowers have faded doesn’t mean the work stops! 🌱

We’re busy preparing fields and building new flower beds for next season, and we’re especially excited about 19 new varieties of Butterfly Ranunculus! 🌷

We can’t wait to see these beauties blooming and share them with you next spring! 💕

The flowers may be gone, but the excitement for next season is already growing! 🌸
