I found some rot in the dahlias today. I always check when I see nothing started to the feel. I am suyrprised as we have had such dry weather. Just the last two days of rain but more for the rest of the week.

They MUST have good drainagae. They also need water daily, but the good drainage is essential.

They have had two weeks of rain now. If I didn't have rot before, I bet I will now. I have never had a wetter Summer. I put in the veggie spikes today as I thought they might need some fertilizer with all this water. The slugs have been having a wonderful time. I will rest better when we have the lower leaves of the plants taken off. That will be quite awhile from now.

I am in inland southern california, and we went three weeks without sun, and very moist conditions. Very unusual weather, 19 out of 20 dahlia's made it so keep the hope alive!
