It must be we were all having so much fun at the RIDS Annual Tuber Auctions that (almost) no one seems to have taken photos for years prior to 2007. So, we'll start with 2007, followed by a few photos from previous years, but we must remind you that the RIDS auction is much more fun than any of these photos suggest. And, as it's always a sell out, mark your calendar now before someone else buys those dahlias that will make your garden spectacular!
