Vmarcos- and what an apt name you have! I used to store whole clumps when I only had a few, space becomes a premium if you graduate to full bore dahlia mania. That's when digging and dividing in Fall becomes more manageable. I had mixed luck storing in peat moss in large Rubbermaid bins or boxes. Sometimes they made it, sometimes they rotted, sometimes they dried out (A common complaint with peat moss as a storage medium.) Labelling correctly will be appreciated by not only you, but anyone you share tubers with. I am finding that I probably go to extremes but it is sooooo important to know what you are dealing with, not only for color and form, but for height planning. And despite one's best efforts, still mistakes can be made. Try to minimize them. During the growing season, make a tranferrable tag that can go from stake to bottom of dahlia stalk. I use endless feet of green bulk twistem-type ties attached to plastic labels marked with indelible markers (Sharpies,usually, and see that they don't fade to illegibility during the hot sun season.) I mark each stake at planting time with a twistem/plastic label. Before cutting time, I move it to the base stalk AND write in Sharpie or No Blot ink pen right on the stalk what plant I am dealing with incase that label falls off. Just a few letters will suffice, enough so I recognize the variety. Once dug up and rinsed so I can see a clean tuber surface, I mark at least a couple on what variety the clump is. I cut one clump at a time minimizing the risk of getting them mixed up. I mark tubers before they are cut from a clump with No blot Ink pencil, or if that's not possible, I'll cut them and mark them when better able once separated from the clump. One type at a time is washed, swished or soaked in bleach water, sort of piled up in order and then sent to the garage to dry overnight. They are rechecked TWICE when I get ready to sort and wrap in Saran/plastic wrap. After I do the shake and bake in sulphur powder with vermiculite, one variety at a time, I relabel every tuber in Sharpie which will write over the sulphur if it's slightly buffed offed with a Kleenex or towel. so each tuber has two labels: one in No Blot Ink and one in Sharpie ink. Tubers are then wrapped in groups of each variety, labelled with tape to secure the wrap i.e. 5 Mazama, 4 Cha Cha, 6 of this, 3 of that, etc.... and deep meditation begins for a good storage season. LOL. And I swear I will not dig a new dahlia bed next year at about this time. Hope that helps. If you store in clumps, I'd at least attach a label: the stem may very well be loosened and break off by next Spring. I'd at least clean one tuber and write the name of the variety on it in Sharpie or whatever will write on it: No Blot Ink in a Pencil being ideal. See the link for profound savings. $6 per pencil vs $.90, you make the call. Please don't email the log home builder and tell them what a bargain they are offering us dahlia lovers!

Here's what my son said about the. He lives in South Philly and has no yard. I had a mixed success with the Topsy Turveys. I definitely preferred having the upside-down tomatoes vs. tomatoes in containers. But if I had a yard, there would be no question that I would just put the tomatoes in the ground!!! However, if you do use the Topsy Turveys, make sure you have a good place to hang them! Pros- Saves space, easy to water and keep moist (vs. containers), bore a lot of fruit Cons- after a while, it is necessary to tie up the vines, or else they flop over from the weight of the fruit. it might be better to use cherry or plum tomatoes. Also, I found it difficult to do the initial setup (filling bags up with dirt and trying to insert the small plants in the upside down hole). Hope this helps!

antiquesilver - The silver belonged to my mother-in-law, and it is called Royal Danish by International Silver. She probably bought it in the 1950's or 1960's. I have my own silver, so after she passed away almost 2 yrs. ago, I didn't think too much about it. My DH is trying to distribute the estate and was thinking of selling it, but then my daughter said that it might be nice to keep it (she just got engaged on New Year's Eve!), so I guess she's thinking of these things now.
