It turns out I seem to have a few moles in the garden. They ate the Blue Boy dahlia tubers, except for one clump. Fortunately, that one clump had six tubers with eyes on it, which means I have two more Blue Boys than I started the season with!
The Color Spectacle came up beautifully, with two tubers dividing initially into six.
Today also marked the evening I finished taking down the gardens, assembling the compost bin, and getting that started. In the last six hours, it's already risen to 96° in the bin. By tomorrow, temperatures should be pushing 130°.
The weather looks likely to turn wintery by the end of the week with very little warming through the remainder of November. I may spray iron and drop winterizer tomorrow and Wednesday.
