Brr ;;;It's cold out there

With a freezing weather forecast for the latter part of the week, we decided that we had better lift the dahlias and put them into winter storage. With this in mind, we headed to the allotment on Tuesday afternoon.

The tops of the dahlias had already been frosted so I cut back what was left of the foliage whilst, Martyn lifted the tubers. They were then taken to the greenhouse where they were covered with some old hessian potato sacks and a pile of enviromesh. We filmed the process and the video is posted here
