Dahlia tuber planting time! The hard work part before all the beauty blooms. This is the way I have planted for a few seasons now. Always a few tweaks as you learn new things/tricks along the way. I use netting to support my plants but if you’re using stakes, NOW (while planting) is the time to add the stake so you don’t stab your tuber later on. Ask me any questions below 👇Or even better, tell me your secret dahlia planting tips!

Weekend photo dump. SUNSHINE! Planting out lots of seedlings. So satisfying 🥰 What did you all get up to over the weekend? Anyone need an extra weekend day to recover from the weekend?!

Dahlia tubers are wild!!!! So resilient! Well mostly…we all know there’s some highly strung & needy tuber diva varieties out there. But mostly they are super hardy and will try their best at sustaining life and bringing their flowers back each summer. These were some TK Melon Glow and Isabel that there just wasn’t room for last season. Definitely earned their spot this year 💕🥰🌱

Chat about preparing seedlings/cuttings for planting in the garden. Don’t shock them! Give them some acclimatisation time to prevent burnt leaves and transplant shock. 10 days approx of inside/outside time.
Also, talking to camera is hard! I’m one-take only, no time for repeating. Eep! Being brave. At least my face doesn’t have dirt freckles this time haha.

TBT January when the flowers were getting going. The bare winter soil is getting boring. I’m ready to see these beauties again please 🙏🌸💗

Is there anything better than germinating seeds?!!!! Who are all my fellow seed raising lovers 🙌
Working on my timing since I am primarily a dahlia girl, I want my other flowers to coincide with when my dahlias bloom. So not super early. Hard not to race into spring though when everyone else is sowing everything. I just need my filler flowers to be ready with my focal flowers so going at my own pace. Always refining the season schedule 👍
Applause for Salmon Runner who despite being disbudded continually is determined (I gave up) to be first bloom out 😂🥰 🌸
