This is always the anticipation time - I have my dahlias in the ground and the pots - I pinched them off and they are now coming back strong. The pink 'Lucky Number' that was the 'for the cause' dahlia at Walmart this year and I bought several packages - are growing gangbusters and are already showing buds. It will be the first.

I enjoy watching and waiting at this time of year - it will be a month before much happens but it's fun to anticipate.
