Happy New Year everyone and a happy new growing season hoping it brings you all you wish for!
Not had time to be on for a number of weeks as Dad has been in hospital twice since October after having a couple of minor strokes and pneumonia. He is still in!
Dahlias all set away now and some starting to show signs of life. I'll try to get a few photos on this week. New varieties for our 2015 trials started to come in early December.
Catalogues all sent out-hope you enjoyed looking through it Lou- and everyone else who got one of course!
Best wishes again for 2015!

Not had mine yet. Dad is going to bring his today for me to look at.
I've lost the other 2 of elsewhere that I had.
Dad is coming round later and one of the dahlia lists is Dad's copy and I can't find it which he lent me and there isn't a website for that one.

Any grow tips or advice you could give me Its a nice dahlia mark ,I double stopped it for Harrogate I grew it in a bed with Mary's jomanda and lancresse ,so all got the same treatment with feeding, Laura stems where long and sappy some where bending over with the weight of the flower I gave them plenty of potash , could have given them to much nitrogen , Mary's and lancress where ok. |
