Well done Tel, looks good now for the hard bit looking after then the the horrible job of tying them up. Well rotivated my twice plot today ready for the fertilizer then the slug pellets, back on with the phormisol then planted all out by Thursday if all goes well some 600 plants to 39 varieties far far too many but it is what we do. If I show 15-20% then I will be very busy showing. Good luck to each and everyone hope you get plenty red cards. Looking forward to seeing some pictures later in the season, good luck ian |

we sail from Southampton. Yes Lou it is amazing. The Fjords very very early morning are great with just the ripple on the water as the ship slowly make its way up the Fjords the mist the colours and the waterfalls its majestic.  ? We are really looking forwards to it. Back to the Dahlias. I am hoping to have them all planted out by Thursday at close of play. I am planting out just short of 600 with 38 varieties planted far far too many but I could not just grow 8 or 9 varieties for championships 50-60 of each like some growers do. I have my bankers that in the main will be used in Championships then I have new varieties a few pre-release novelties and others I am trying some will be good and others may be better with a bit of luck some may even get considered for inclusion in Championship entries. Fingers crossed for the season for all us Dahlia nuts. |
