I love dahlias, don't have but one in my whole yard. Digging up, preserving the bulbs all winter seems like too much work. My bad.

I take mine out every October to save the money
for new ones. Unfortunately we have had hail and stormy
rain here for a while.

This year alone I lost 3 trees and a lot of trees and bushes
are touching the ground from this unusual weather.

I am wondering whether it is worth all the work
coupled with the disappointments to keep it up.
