| Jroot and all-
What would you suggest for using as a potting soil medium for starting my dahlia's indoors? I think in the past I have used just plain potting mix OR maybe it was peat moss? My order from Swan Island Dahlias should be arriving any day! Thanks! MelissaMary |

| We use Miracle Grow Moisture Control potting soil from Costco- it's really good & not too expensive- around $12.00 for a huge bag- cheaper than the same kind at WalMart. It has some Ozmocote in it for an added boost after the plant is in the garden. I also use it for all the annual pots & hanging planters I make in the flowershop & my customers love the results. |

| Go Viking! You got Farmer John to wake up early- he's usually lazy around here & doesn't put out an eye until May or so! (We think it's because John had to get up at 4 am to milk cows all those years & his namesake is making up for it ;) I think Farmer J is the one Ellie was referring to last week when she said some are noted for being late at eyeing up. |
