| Looking good! I finally started potting up my tubers a few days ago. Everything that was nicely "eyed up" is potted, (about 75 of them), and another 20 or so are in baggies with peatmoss, I expect most of them to be viable. I started with 3 tubers 5 years ago, then bought a couple more the next two years, all of the rest are through dividing and trading (thanks Kerianne) they are worse than bunnies! I've no idea what I am going to do with all of them. Last year I think I planted about 35 Dahlias. Maybe I can find room to expand it to 50, but I think I will be giving lots away. |

| I was cleaning up a garden bed today and found sprouts from the dahlias I had there last year. Now why did the winter kill my 10'tall climbing Graham Thomas roses that had been there and healthy for 10 years, but not kill the dahlias in the ground!? I had not even mulched them like I did the ones in my cutting garden where I grow most of them. Still haven't figured out why so many roses died this winter...maybe it was cold winds. Those sprouting dahlias renewed my faith in growing things! |
