| Beginning the first week of Arpil until this week I had a undiagnosed progressive viral and bacteria infection.
Needless to say I am WAY behind in planting everything. The weather has been buckets of rain, then frost, but now it is rocket temps, the same pattern as last year. The Dahlia tubers I was able to divide and clean up all but 3 or 4 clumps prior to getting ill and they have robust sprouts on them. Now with high temperatures and high shoots do I plant the shoots above the ground or bury them? I wouldn't want to have them get fried now that they are going from the basement to outdoors. Thanks! |

| You can plant them so that only an inch or so of the sprout is above ground & it won't hurt them. Take off any leaves that will be below the ground & you'll get extra tubers where the leaf nodes were. Hope you're feeling better soon!! |
