I think the seedling trials finished last weekend, what position mine finished in i do not know yet, i do not know if they email the growers or what.
This is the first time i have entered a seedling, usually i go for a look round the trials every year, but with getting the new house ready and moving i just have not had the time to go this year.
Even if the dahlia finishes way down the field i will try it has a small dec next season because the petal count is not as high has a lot of Min Decs.
It may just finish up as a garden dahlia.

Your tomatoes will be going mad.

Will have to think about what i shall keep out of them, for next season.

Mr Frost visited last night, foliage blackened nicely ...

The end of one dahlia year and the beginning of the next I guess ...

Update:

Dahlias in garden are really black. Dahlias at nursery 4 miles away are still perfect and, in fact, cut this morning for a local customer; weird weather or what?
