Rosanne told me I had to get this pose of Rich resting on both the posts as he was talking dahlias with John and Charles. — with Rich Gibson.

Garden is no more……very sad to see because it means winter is on the way!

Destroying the trial garden tubers. Nick and John ensured they were all cut up before being added to the compost pile.

Rosanne Weber was in charge of lunch. Today was a great chili, vegetables, chips, corn bread and pie. Thanks!

Digging up tubers. — with John Spangenberg.

This is the main crew who work all Spring, Summer and Fall in the Trial Garden. We were just missing Kathy and Tom Davis.. Nick, Connie in the front. Rich, Valerie and John (Crazy4Dahlias.com). — with Rich Gibson, Nick Weber and John Spangenberg.

Not an easy task to pull out the cut stalks from the hortnova. We save and recycle the netting.
