Snap!

We had a little touch of frost this morning, so I decided it was time to dig up my dahlias:
None of them have done brilliantly in the places I planted them in spring, so I will try them somewhere else next year.

Then I looked back through my blog to find out when I had dug them up last year, and was amazed to find that it was on exactly the same day: 19th June!

Well done, a change of position may be just what they need.

We had them in Lancefield and they grew huge. I never dug them up until I wanted to split some and put more through my garden. I did dig one up and planted it here. I find they take a couple of years to settle in.

A cold day to be out in the garden. Hope you had your thick socks on inside your boots.

I love dahlias. I had to buy some new ones this year because I forgot to dig them up in time last fall, One of them has yellow/orange flowers. But I noticed that the squirrels had eaten the blooms.

(I forget to put my own comment on all the time, too--what a drag, huh?)
