You should be totally fine to dig at this point. The plants start shutting down at the days get so short so they’ve already sent their sugar stores to the tubers at this point. Best to get them dug up now before the weather gets too cold and unpleasant for the task! 🙂

I’ve heard that if there’s no killing frost by November 15 it’s safe to dig the dahlias. True? Or should I wait for killing frost regardless of how late?
