Found some good information on storing dahlias here. You have to scroll down the page to get to the storage information. Dangerous site, tho, they have some really nice looking dahlias for sale...

Shannon, about storing glads, you wait a week or so after the first hard frost when the foliage is dying, dig them up, and break the tops off. Some people put an anti-fungal powder on them but I've been growing them for alot of years and I never have and they've been fine. Spread them out in a cardboard box in a dry place like a garage for a week . Then store in a cool place at around 40-45F in a box or a pail without a cover or even in a paper bag. If you don't have a cool basement you can always put them in your bottom crisper in your fridge. A nursery owner that breeds them told me about breaking the tops off when you dig them. I use to leave the foliage on when I dug them and then cut it off when I was going to store them, but breaking them off when you dig them is a lot easier.

Sue, thanks I have a bunch that are asleep already. I will be working on them and some
of my peonies & dahlias this weekend. I usually use peat with my Callas can I use that
for the others also?

I'm so nervious about the bulbs. I dont want them to dry up. I have a bunch of lilies also
to pull up & store. I can put them all under my house for now it stays cool there

Woofie ..Yea the ones for sale can be dangerous. I grew most of mine from seeds
thats why I'm attatched to them Not hard at all to grow from seed . I want to
try black ones next

I've never put mine in peat but I don't know why it would hurt.
