| My first year of having dahlias in the garden. Normally I just have the little ones in pots, a couple i had in the ground which i didnt pull out and never made it. But this year, I just needed to go bigger and better, lol. So heres some pics..Have a beautiful Edinburgh that bloomed yesterday, but I cant find the charger to my camera :(
7-05 10 days after planting tubers..
8-15 Monet
8-15 Cezanne
8-23 Onesta?
8-25 Love Parade?
9-01 Um, another Monet? I don't know!
I wish I could post the more recent blooms, but I cant even get the pics off my camera that are on there since the battery is dead. Eventually I will find it, and post more.

| Nice Pics Daniella! The blooms are beautiful and the leaves are so green and plush. When or how long ago did you take the pics? It looks like you've had just about the right amount of moisture and nutrient care. Like many across the country, we too here in Central New York (Syracuse) have had a lack of rainfall plus something like 14 or more days of 90 degrees or more heat this summer and our average is 5 days. It wouldn't have been bad except for the lack of rain. And my water bill was almost double. But I won't complain as I know in many places like the Albany area who have been on a "Water on certain days only." edict. It's finally raining today and I hope it stops long enough so I can get a few pics in myself as even the plants look look happy instead of the 01:00 PM droop they've been experencing almost daily. When I woke up yesterday morning it was 82 degrees at 05:00 AM and I don't ever remember that high of an early morning temp happening before.

| Thank you very much! :) The dates that I took the pics are right above each picture. I was watering every day for awhile, but now I water every few days. I think the trick to the 1pm droop, which i experience too, it to water about 12:30 1:00. just at the base of the plants, and they perk right up. All I use on my dahlias is water, I never feed them. And I didnt even doctor up the soil before i planted the bulbs at the end of June. I pulled the grass & weeds, dug the bed, went about 6-8" down, then plopped the bulbs in. I've just gotten lucky I think. was hot here yesterday too, almost 90 at 8:30 pm. But thats how i like it. Heres some more i took this morning. 9-09 This is my fav so far.Don't know the name, they were mislabeled..Any clues? 9-09 9-09 I'm not supposed to have white ones either..Any clues on this one? |
