I always thought the tuber boxes were way over-priced and thought people crazy to spend that much when they could be bought for a lot less. Who wants a fancy box that will only end up in recycling. I wonder why she has decided to drop the price so dramatically and reduce the numbers she’s selling. Or maybe that was the number she always sold.
Wonder how many will buy her how to grow dahlias video? There’s really no mystery how to - start off in pots in April, - plant out towards end of May. Or plant directly in ground end April/beginning of May. Hope caterpillars don’t devour them all. Stake. Pinch out the centre tip or don’t. Deadhead to prolong flowering. Just after first frost or just before, dig up the tubers, knock off the soil and store somewhere dry and frost free. Divide in spring and start the process again. Or leave in the ground and hope for the best.
If she sticks to her PYO field and flower markets with some merchandise, she should find it a lot less stressful than all the shows and the work they entail for probably not much profit.
