Dahlias 2014 Season

Managed to get 5 poms, though they are not the best I have had, have got 3 Wyn's Favourite, small dec, really not big enough, but I am taking them or they would only be left on the allotment.
If I did not have the trophy to return, I would not have bothered taking the blooms.

Still caning dahlias in the dark for tomorrow!
Had some lovely ones earlier in the week but the gales and monsoons have not left us with anything decent, still it's the taking part that counts??

I'm sure they will be good enough Tel. Good luck xx

I hope you manage to cut something, good luck at your show.

Yes all the best for those who are showing this weekend.

Its my local show tomorrow.

Have managed to cut:

8 x Winholme Daine
6 x Barbarry Surprise.
6 x George Marston.
9 x Val's Candy
6 x Gwyneth.
4 x Kenora Wildfire

12 x Morre Place
10 x Gurtla Twilight.


Well the poms are earmarked to cut 1st thing in the morning so they spend as much time on the plant and less time swelling up in water.

Will decide late doors what goes in, the rest I will give away to the old birds.

I would have liked to have done Sandy show today but 4 shows in one week is pushing the wife's patience.

Hope everyone has done well today....look forward to all the pics tomorrow !!
