Dahlias in

Don't
plant
this.

 JULY...

 

First day of June.  After a few days of steady fine rain the soil is in ideal condition for dahlia planting. Vitax Q4 was applied at 3 ounces per square yard two weeks previously.

 

Two dahlia beds planted out.
Each bed has 50 dahlia plants made up of Karenglen, Abridge Taffy, Barbarry Bluebird, Peach, Candy and Wootton Cupid.

3rd Frost warning!!! Panic sets in...dahlias covered with fleece and Rocolene.

4th - Contrary to popular belief the sun does occassionally shine in Scotland.



8th - One week in the ground and the dahlia plants are looking good. The new growth can  be clearly seen. Started planting small cactus dahlias.
