Maybe need to check mine tomorrow. Mine are in the greenhouse in a pot covered in compost. I keep them damp but nearer the drier side. Have I done the right thing? My grandpa used to grow loads but I only have a wee one. Hopin it will get better as time goes on. I saw carol takin cuttings on friday night. Is it really that easy?
Sam-yes it easy to propagate dahlias-but don't do any splitting yet-wait till you start them into growth in a few weeks time so you can see where the eyes are

If you are just going to plant the tubers without starting them off ffirst under cover then around mid- April at the earliest.
If they are growing plants around Mid- May- it is all about weather conditions and last frost date
I think mine are going manky. Not sure I like dahlias enough to bother with them. Bot OTT for my style of garden.

Same goes for cuttings-relatively easy
Check it when you can-if it is still firm- then yes
Cold and wet will do more damage that just cold-if that makes sense?
Hope your wrapped up an cosy. Snowing side ways her for about the past 6 hours now.
