| What a lovely crowded chaotic garden. Is almost everything in pots? That Chilson's Pride is especially nice. |

| Yes everything is in pots. Even the things behind this garden are in pots which have been barried to the rims. I am now deciding if I should make more wooden pots or planters or just start digging more holes to put pots in. |

| What size pots do you use? I have never had one bloom in a pot. Do you put gravel in the bottom for drainage? Peat and compost? Pat |

| The smallest pot I use is 12inches. Some of my pots are huge. You have seen my pictures before PDSHOp. Some of my old dahlias grew to almost 9 foot. I remember Oregon rain used to tower over my van that was parked in the drive way. I do put stones in the bottom of my pots for drainage. I use miricalgrow planting soil that I get at Sam's club. It is light enough for pots and the tubers grow in it like crazy. |

| I see that you are in Long Island, I am on Staten Island. I also do all my dahlias on containers because the clay is like concrete, and very hard for me to make holes. I am new here, but, I shall be posting some of my pictures, when I learn how to. Your dahlias are awesome........ |

| Thanks for looking and commenting. Dahlias do well in our neck of the woods. I will be starting way more early next year now that I will have more tubers to store over the winter. |
