It's October and the garden basically iooks like crap. The dahlias keep blooming but I've lost interest for this season. I've just got too many other things on my mind. So now I'm just watching them falling over while waiting for a killing frost...
If I pinch off the buds that are still forming, will the plant store more energy in the tuber? Or will it use more energy trying to replace the lost buds?
