New Dahlia Addict!

Just wanted to say hello to the Dahlia Forum.

I friend gave me six dahlia tubers last spring (don't know the name but very dark green foliage with deep red medium sized 4" blooms). I'm hooked. I planted them at the cottage, and had to go back to the city. I gave the little 4" plants a healthy dose of Miracle Grow. I came back four weeks later (a friend did the watering) and my garden was FULL of dahlias. They looked like huge rosebushes! I love them. I dead-headed like crazy and they were the talk of the lane. I can't wait for planting season this year.

I just went to Costco and got some more:

Zingaro 5

Night Queen 5

Mignon: Windmill 3

Mignon: Fire & Ice 7

Dinnerplate: Sir Alf Ramsey 8" 5

Dinnerplate: Gitt's Perfection 8" 5

Dinnerplate: Akita 8" 5

Dinnerplate: Cafe au Lait 8" 5

Dinnerplate: Vancouver 8" 5

Dinnerplate: Bilboa 8" 5

along with some calla lilies, cannas, Mymenocallis, elephant ears (Colocasia), gladiolas and irises.

I've become addicted to gardening - is there a therapy group for this??? LOL

I'm certainly going to have some questions if I can't find the answer via Google. Come on Spring!
