60 days no heat no flowers

13 years ago

Well I thought this was going to be a gangbuster year for the dahlias. Got them in early. They have come up and most of them haven't even been pinched yet. They have just stalled. It is so depressing when you wait all winter. IOt is 61 adays now with no rain. also 90 degrees and very high humidity. I feel sorry for the dahlias and me!
