Hello everyone, this particular thread has gone silent. Can't have that. So here goes. I've ordered dahlias from 7 different growers and did a trade with Geoff. This is my first year getting dahlias from anyone other than Swan Island. I've really become obsessed-interested in laciniated forms and Colwood Eve has really got my motor running. Lobaugh's Dahlias is just a few miles away and I went and picked up my order rather than have him ship it (saved me 10.00). He was kind enough to show me his storage system in his garage. His walls are insulated and he has floor to ceiling cabinets. He stores his bulbs in clear shoe boxes in vermiculite. He says if it gets really cold he puts a little space heater out there. Here in the northwest we don't have much freezing weather. He told me Home Depot has the shoe boxes on sale for a dollar a piece right now. I feel a shopping trip coming on.
